So it is the trans crossmember? Try not to ruin it as you can use it for your new engine and trans.

I thought about that, but it wasn't quite right with the 700r4 that was in it. I tried pulling the trans pan to drain the fluid and couldn't get to the rear bolts due to clearance with the crossmember. I already picked up an aftermarket member from CJ Pony Parts. Got it on a Black Friday sale for $50. It bolts in to the OEM location, but is formed to fit the 4l60e/80e transmissions - specifically for LS swaps.

I bought one of those but ended up modifying it to more conveniently route the exhaust.
