I'm not an MII guy as you know, but I'll take a crack at this. To my knowledge, there are no kits that allow you to maintain the stock transmission X-member, with a modern V8-AT combo. I believe you'd have to severely modify it at the least.

In that the crossmenmber is under the forward end of the driveshaft it seves a function as a driveshaft loop and bolting it back into the frame restores frame rigidity lost without the trans crossmmber (loss of rigidity to frame trist is significant when the original transmission mount is removed from the frame-step on the running board with and without it to see). I installed a second new trans crossmember at the correct location under the transmision. I am running a sbc with a 700R4 AOD. For engine mounts, I had boxed the front so I fabricated and welded new engine mounts to the boxing plates (reinforced at that location)

I saw this K member for 48-52 F1 and thought you might like to see it.

Looks like it would be easy to build from scratch to fit any trans.
