Looking at all of those pics; do you think that they were a little proud of their tranny crossmember?

I tried to buy a crossmember from them but they said they didn't make them anymore, I asked if they would sell the parts so I could weld it up myself but they never responded though he said that they had some spare parts around

 I wish someone would start making the crossmember for this swap.

The 618 case (diesel and v10) has a little different case casting that requires some extra tunnel modifications, but if you are starting with a V8 case, just working (cutting/modifying) the extension housing will make it fit.
