Question Transmission crossmember choices for Camaro/Firebird front clip folks..........???

I am installing my engine/transmission soon into my 57' (typical smallblock & TH350 auto). The front end is 77' Camaro IFS and the rest of the truck is stock "C" channel frame. I am not sure what transmission crossmember people are running to support the tail end of the transmission. I do have the original camaro tranny crossmember, however, it seems to be really shallow and does not hang down very far. I'm sure most people find that engine/transmission wants to naturally sit low in the engine compartment after installing a camaro/firebird IFS clip. Does anyone out there in the aftermarket world build a transmission crossmember that will bolt to the stock frame and still drop low enough for the grafted on subframe?
