318 auto cross member swap?

I have a 66 D100 that originally had the /6, 3 spd combo. The previous owner had the 318 auto that he started to install but ran out of funds. The following pics are what I have. Can any of you help me in figuring out what else I'll need to be successful? I will need a set of engine mounts as the originals were torched at the block when removing the engine from the previous vehicle.
Thanks a bunch!

Where did you get your tail shaft cross member?
It doesn't look like an original Sweptline piece?
Look through Jeff Clare's information at the link.
You'll need a bolt in spanner to connect those
cut bell housing cross member stubs too.

The tail shaft cross member came with the "package deal". I have no idea what it came out of.
Thank you for the link, I'll check it out after work tonight!

That cross member is from a 72 to 80 D series 2 wheel drive. No reason it cant be made to work. And transmission mount is easier to buy from many sources also.
