700R4 crossmember, need suggestions

[chev-obsession]

Hey guys, I'm currently setting the engine/tranny into the compartment. I have a short bed, and want to keep the stock e-brake crossmember.

I have searchered the forum and can not come up with anything for my certain scenario. Is there any way that on a short bed, i can run the 700R4 with the stock e-brake crossmember? I don't mind modifying it as long as it stays in the same location.

Does anybody have suggestions, or seen some one else do something similar to this?

Thanks in advance!
