I haven't actually done a swap myself, but I have build several 700s for members here, and several for local club members. The last one for a feller here used a factory crossmember from a '77(I think) to install in his '81, and was a bolt in deal, other than having to elongate the mount bolt holes a wee bit. Of course, he had to shorten the driveshaft, and set up the TV cable linkage. I think he took it to a muffler shop afterwards to finish the exhaust. I did one a few months ago for a club member that bought a Bowtie xmember, brackets, etc., and he had a lot of issues with getting everything to fit correctly, so...who knows? Then again, this particular guy is a perfectionist.
I did do a swap many years ago from a 350 to a 700, but that was on an '82....that should have had a 700 in it to start with....someone had swapped it way back when...when nobody knew how to fix a 700....LOL

Vette(s): 1980 L- 82 fully restored and upgraded.
Nice rod7515 with a 3.08 chimed in ! And confirmed my worry that gear would cause some issues. And the BTO cross member fit so well in my 1980 even accommodating the exhaust the goes from driver side and crosses to passenger side I was shocked . Matter of fact I am removing that pipe because the BTO cross member allows for a straight shot from header to over axle pipe allowing me to eliminate that one curved pipe. 

If some had an issue my guess would be he may have had a 80-82 cross for an earlier model that would cause problems or an earlier cross trying to fit it on a 80-82. I until today have never herd of a bto cross not fitting just right it is possible I guess it was manufactured off.

Vette(s): 1982 Black, ZZ4, Hooker Side Pipes, 3.55 Rear, Rebuilt & upgraded 700R4, All new suspension, brakes, & new Charcoal interior.
The side pipes are out of the way, not an issue with the trans.
 By the way Jason, I was looking at your pictures of your rebuild, you've done a ton of work on the car, nice job.
