I-6 vs. v-8 trans crossmember

[lilred67]

for those of you who have changed over your 6 cly. trucks to v-8 and move the manual tranny crossmember foward for the v-8 to sit in the correct position.the question is did you reuse your crossmember or us a v-8 cross member from a donor truck. i moved mine last night and it was not as straight foward as i thought it would be(thought i was working on a ferd) . the bolt holes wouldn't all line up and the corners of the crossmembers where hanging up on the inside on the frame. i had to completely remove the crossmember and do some engineering to make it all fit.i air chiseled the rivets out and bolted it back in with grade 8 hardware. what kind of problems did any of you have??
