As for the crossmember I'd just find used or build one.not to involved if you really look at it.The linseed will be fine but it should be nice and cured paint tho so it can't lift it

The auto should have the crossmember at the tail, most modern std shift use rear crossmembers also.

If you short shift it, maybe 1mpg better. Maybe not. If you want better, you'll need a trans with OD.

Re: 2 questions for you guys here
You need to find out what gear ratio you have in the rearend.
If you have 4.10:1 then you should raise it to 3.73. I have that ratio and a 4l60e, I get real good mileage.
