    Is it the origianl crossmember?? Welded in or rivited iin?? If it's rivited I think i'd cut the rivets, move the crossmember to where you need it. Drill new holes in the frame and bolt it in place. I had a 40 Chevy . Tryn' to remeber what the original crossmember looked like. I made a tube crossmember over the trans. and then fabed a bolt in loop under the trans. to the crossmember. Don't know if you can see it in de attachment. Had mine pushed back about 12". with a small block, little less when I went to BBC. Firewall was flat up against the back of the dash.
