W58 to R154

[Scruggs86.5T]

So I have done a good bit of research for this swap and I know everything that I need to change out. But I am a little confused about the cross member/transmission mount part. I need to know if its just the mount or the whole cross member that needs to be swapped. I got a picture of the whole cross member w/ mount. ( this is a pic from driftmotion, couldnt find any other good ones, mount is polyurethane so it looks a little different)

I am thinking that it is just the mount part circled in red that I need to swap over and not the whole cross member, but I want to be sure before I buy everything. Could anyone help me out and let me know if there is an actual difference in the cross member? Thanks in advance......

What all do you need to do to swap the R-154 into a N/A???

well I guess the whole crossmember/trans. mount, wing mounts on side of block, front half of driveshaft, flywheel and clutch, and make sure you have the inspection plates for the R154. Oh yeah and of course the R154 tranny.

You'll need the slave and I don't know if the same line will work.
The mounts are the same just the members need to change just so you know.
