Help!!! Ordering parts and not quite sure what I need

I have a 4.8L/4l60E thats going on a 71 disc brake frame. I plan on doing a 4/6 drop on it. So far I have Dirty Dingo adapter plates. What is everyone running for a trans crossmember? Do I need to buy engine stands like CPP or can I use an alternative? Seems the more I read the more confused I get LOL. Please advise and thanks in advance.

Stock pan will work unless your laying frame. Then change to the ctsv or hotrod pan.

I ditto everything already said.

Has anyone tried the ECE motor mount kit with the frame perches....If so, did you like them? I'm thinking of just getting a set of frame perches from a 73-87 and a Dirty Dingo slider. Whats everyone's input??
