Transmission Conversion Crossmember for Glide?

I am in need of one of these for my M6/glide conversion but can't find anyone who sells them. BMR has one for the LS1 but it is TH400 only and they have one for the LT1 that fits the Powerglide. Anyone know where to get one or am I going to have to have one custom made....?

Thanks!

You are going to have to make one, nobody makes one at this time. If you have a normal auto crossmember, you can just weld an extension plate on it to make a glide work

The description says that they are good for the 93-97 f-bods. I'll email them to see if them make one for the LS1.....

That doesn't look like it will work for an LS1's mounting points.

Matt Harlan has a Glide in his and drives it on the street occasionally. I don't think it would be THAT bad as long as you don't do too much fast freeway driving. I wonder what Harlan did about his crossmember...
