It can be done, I just happen to have a motor mount kit and Trans x-member (brand new) that I'not going to be using. Staying with the stock y-block (292)

Terry, Placement will be drop it and adjust,,, not sure. The factory x-member from looking at mine wil more than likely have to come out (grinding off the rivets). I haven't done that type of conversion so keep asking on the forum, one of these great guys will more than likely have the answer.

I had to remove the existing crossmember you're talking about for my 5.0 liter and AOD to fit. I modified a mustang trans crossmember so I could use the stock X pipe. Also integrated engine mounts in with MII crossmember, unfortunately that doesn't help you much.
