What trans are you running, I did the swap correctly and If you are running a 3 speed you will have to get a v8 crossmember for the trans, the 6 wont move up into the frame, at least mine didnt, I had a 1 piece shaft made and it has given me no problems. If you have an auto you shouldnt have any issues with the crossmember.
