Z'd frame, what to do with the tranny member?

[a squarecan]

Hey guys,

I am new to the forum, but I have been reading a lot of what you guys have posted in the past and I have learned a great deal from what I have read!

I have a 65 Chevy 1/2 ton with a 415 stroker and TH350 trans and I am getting ready to Z the frame 2 inches and I was curious what you guys did with your tranny cross member? Did you mod your stock X-member, did you build a new one? I am hoping to tuck my exhaust up above the tranny member as well. I have a good idea of what I need to do I am just hoping maybe some one may have some pix or advice before I dive in.

Thanks
Keith
