So the overall length is the only difference? I have the crossmember that came with the car but the center (mount area) was cut and moved forward about 4 inches to accommodate a 200-4r. I can use that to get the right length.

I assume the boxed frame cars had slightly smaller (not as long) trans crossmembers?
