Re: T56 crossmember What did you use in your swap?

I agree with Captianfab. Got to be $40 in materials at least and then time plasma cutting and welding? Unless they building 100 plus at crack the numbers don't work for me.
Again just my .02 before you buy any cross member buy a piece of 2" x 2" tubing that spans from frame rail to rail and look at how easy it is to fab a trans cross member once you swing the engine and trans in.
Just a shout out for the Captianfab brake master cylinder/clutch master cylinder mount and pedal linkage. Worked like a million bucks. I used a 2005 Corvette brake booster/ master cylinder and it bolted right up to the Captianfab's mount.
In regards to the engine mounts get the oil pan as close as you can to cross member even if you have to mod the mounts a bit. I used a Camaro pan also. If you doing a 6" rear drop every quarter inch will help minimize the drive line angle.
