Re: I-6 vs. v-8 trans crossmember

If you are reusing the I-6 engine stands, then it shouldn't have to be moved. If you switched to the V-8 stands, I would guess some people would just use an automatic crossmember, or an aftermarket crossmember since most all 3 and 4 speeds I've seen has the ability to be mounted from the rear, as is the trans in the pic above.

My truck was already swapped over to a V-8 when I bought it, using the original 3-speed manual trans in the original location, with the I-6 towers.
