More info....the crossmember can work, chisel the rivets and put it back in with bolts. Get the driveshaft with the trans, you'll need the yoke anyway, the shaft might be made to work. I made a 2-piece for mine back when, I don't recall why, had to make a x-member to support the center bearing.Now, I'd go for a Camaro rear, with overdrive a 3.5 or 3.7 or so should work. Plus, the Camaro rear and T5 will work behind a small-block when the "dipper" craters. And it will crater!
