I ran a TH400 in my truck for a while. Used the stock crossmember but it was behind a gen 1 small block chevy. I used a lokar floor shifter for it.

A close friend is running one in his 04 step side. Found a factory crossmember that actually worked but couldnt use driveshaft. So we measured and the length matched up to a mustang driveshaft.
