Th350 Swap, Trans cross member mount ??

I'm doing a Th350 swap and just want to use my stock cross member with the little "plate" mod. Meaning I just want to cut a plate of steal to bolt on there and move the mount location till I can afford a nice new one designed for this swap. I'm wondering if anyone has any dimensions they could give to know how big, and how far apart the holes should be drilled so that when i get the trans back from the shop I can bolt it right up in. Thanks for any help.

Sorry Move to drive train section if need be.

if "the shop" knows what they're doing, you won't need that "little plate". Fitz-All makes a kit that allows you to use the correct mounting location, because it supplies an aluminum adapter that goes between the case and your stock 4L60E extension housing. This also allows use of your stock speedo, torque arm, and driveshaft.

Yeah i know thats an option but I started without a stock driveline....so...no trans tail shaft housing to use, don't want stock torque arm mounting location as car is going to be built for mostly drag racing...UMI or Sphon relcoation package. Planned on upgrading driveshaft so custom made lenght is ok, and going with a full custom dash so stock speedo is not needed. I know BMR makes a trans crossmember just for this swap but there in the ball park of $180 and since I had a stock one laying around I thought I would do the cheap 20 dollar plate mod till it could not handle the horsepower and torque, or i could afford the BMR one.

I think i saw months ago somewhere that might have sold the plates but I do not remember where, that why i was asking the dimensions so I could just get a plate and drill my own whole.
