Making a crossmember is easy. If you can't maybe there is one available, search for the dimensions of GM transmissions maybe it works with a th400 crossmember or something.

Rick Fisher "Iceman" makes a g-body crossmember for a 4L60e and t56, he may also make one for a 4l80e. You can contact him on the maliburacing site or search "g-body crossmember" on ebay.

BRP just released a kit for the G-body.. They most likely will see the x-member. give Phil a call there !

i gave him a call a week ago.. i think im going to try the 6 speed cross member and modify it a little bit.. his kit seems like the easiest way to go as far as getting the 6.0 and 80e in there..
