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.

The crossmember was the exact width, no shortning at all but like I said in my earlier post every other one I measured was too long and would have needed shortened. I did weld a 1/4" plate under both sides to correct the angle of the engine. Worked out good in my situation and I only paid 10 bucks
