I'll have to differ to smarter people than me on this one, it's probably a 700R4 but don't take my word on that.
if it is a 700, from what I've heard, the earlier years of that trans. are more prone to issues than the later years, again, don't listen to me about that.
I believe they are more expensive to have rebuilt too.

Is it just called a crossmember or is there another name for it I would search for? Hahaha I feel so dumb sometimes asking questions like this.

as you've been told---- the only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask---- that said, I just looked and I can't find it. I could have been mistaken on where I saw it, I've been on tons of websites lately trying to find reasonable sources for parts for my car.
I'll keep my eyes open, but I'm sure someone will come along who has done the swap and knows a source.

oooo a late model 700r4. You'll need your speedo gear from your old transmission (the plug on the tailshaft).
it'll bolt in place, and your cross member is removable - they are not removeable in the manual transmission cars.

The hole in the back - is for that cable I told you to NEVER forget to install, and the one which, if you incorrectly hook it up to your carb, will burn the transmission up in as little as 20 miles.
