60's 235 into '49 Frame - Crossmembers

[jrdamien]

Before I start painting I wanted to make sure of a few things. I know one of ya'll know the answer.

The late 50's/early 60's 235's have front, side and rear mounts. I want to use the front mount and rear mount but someone said the rear mount won't be use-able if I use a T5.

Here's the frame:



I removed the 3rd crossmember from the front, the stock transmission member. Can the 235 be mounted on the front member and 2nd, and then I add a dropped crossmember for the newer transmission? Or does that 2nd engine/tranny crossmember need to come out, too? If it does, how does the 235 mount?
