Take the stock crossmember and slide it forward. If the crossmember is spot welded just break the welds then slide it.

Ok this is were people don't know. The C4 Is shortet than the t-5 or AOD that cam in the stangs. So what you'll have to do it grind or re drill the bolting "slots" In the crossmember longer. So Make the slots in the CrossmemberLonger to acomodate for the shorter tranny.
