Nothing that I am aware of that will bolt right in. This is your best bet: http://www.maliburacing.com/iceman
you can get one here to http://www.crossmembers.com/ but the iceman one is lighter or can notch out the factory one just make sure you get one for the type of transmission your using a th350 would be different than a 700r4 not sure about the iceman set up i have the g-force one its pretty thick and solid but i do like the iceman one to just bought the g-force one b 4 i knew about iceman would like to get the iceman radiator support
I have the iceman crossmember for my 200-4r. Very nice high quality piece and it went in with no problems.
theres one for the iceman because i can say the g-force crossmember the hump touched the floor when i installed it could have possibly been due to old body mount bushings its clear the iceman would not have that problem
same problem with my g-force, but thats ok. It fit well and seems indestructable. I would try the iceman though...
You could get one form a older chevelle and buy a crossmember frame extension from summit or Jegs.

I think it has to be from a convertable or elcamino (boxed frame, shorter crossmember) Thats what i'm using but most I measured were too long.

Not only is the old A body X-member longer, it goes straight across & doesn't line up with the holes. Obviously you can drill new ones. Also, the frame on the G body doesn't reach far enough back & although I may very well be wrong, I don't think the aftermarket frame extension works. I can't say if there would be a better fit with a convertible or Elky X-member.
In any event, by the time you get done purchasing & modifying stuff, you could have bought an Icemember for less.
