There are several options, BRP Hotrods, ATS, STS, etc. Below is information from the forum that would be helpful. The swap has been done several times....though not with the ls3....however it should be no different.

TH400 crossmember is offset 2" to the passenger side. TH400s were used behind BBs and their exhaust manifold wouldnt clear steering box so they offset the entire driveline 2" to the passenger side. You might had to cut and reweld your stock mount on center and the maybe redrill holes in your frame rail depending on engine setback.
