The cross-member was custom made by the machine shop.
I don't think the bend is there anymore cuz i think they smoothed them out cuz i was under there was no bend and the frame had some work done to it i will ask about that for you menace cuz once i saw the trans was in i just didn't ask cuz and i got my self worried about something else as usual Hopefully the link might help you i know its comparison with 4l60 but that might give you an idea

You don't need the custom LSx car style custom built one with inlet & outlet on the passenger side. You can use the truck style long upper hose that crosses over to the driver side and use a standard configuration radiator.
Thanks 68 TT but my old one is nasty and i already figured it out and for something i going to buy new i want to get one that give it a really clean look. For somewhere around $700 I get a Radiator and Dual fans and a/c condenser its all esclade parts. They really look nice i don't want to show you guys until we get it on radiator support
