I switched to an Atlas 4 speed Tcase which necessitated moving the crossmember back about 1". The DIy4x engine mount will allow you to move the engine forward or back slightly, about 3" total.

The big block came out of a 78 c30 p/u. We used the origional 350 trans and np205 t-case and didn't have to move any cross members. The only cutting that was done was on the firewall and not even 1/2" worth of trimming on the frame for header clearance.
