Default LS2 in my caprice

So decided to upgrade since the car has been sitting for awhile in the yard. A guy i know did it to his car so i decided to go for it and do it. seemed EZ at first but i was wrong. trying to do this swap without cutting anything. But i dont think its gonna go my way.

I take it the trans crossmember is a solidbar? I won't be surprised if people suggest going to a bigger diameter CM.
