Default LT1 TH350 crossmember PICS

I thought I would post some pictures of how to modify a stock auto LT1 crossmember to work with a TH350 trans. The TH350 trans mount is just slightly closer to the motor than the 4l60e. All you have to do is weld a tab, and some little arms off the side to support it on to the front of the crossmember. Then drill out a new hole for the mount. If I remember correctly the new hole should be about 1in in front of the old hole.
