t-case/tranny crossmember???

[Boonie Buster]

I have a 350/350/203/205 all chevy setup in my truck now only being supported by the motor mounts:redneck: my question to you guys is, what do i need to look/lookout for when making crossmembers? should i make something to hold up the tranny then a second x-member for the t-cases? or would on "big" one work jsut as good. i want to make it out of square tube, so i can make a flat belly plate for it. would pirate4x4 have any good links on the subject or any other places that have pictures (pictures help me the best in learning:clappy: ) so i was jsut wondering what you guys have encountered in the past from previous experience

ok, so after thoroughly looking at them that wont work real well for me :haha: my 203 is mounted upside down so i lose the use of those two threaded holes on the tranny mount adapter, how did you mount up in between the t-cases? it looks like you drilled into the dual t-case bracket or something. it does help me some though as far as bushings and mounting to the frame a little
