used the factory crossmember many times. actually if your motor placement is right you can bolt the glide tranny mount in the factory location. we use mounts for a Chevy II with a glide from 63-64. but most people I see do what is stated above and add the additional plate.

Does the engine have motor mounts or use a front and mid plate?

i used motor plates and mid plates, just to get the motor to set where i wanted it to and give additional header clearance, and set the motor a little lower and a little further back in the car than factory.
