How to mount an M-21 in a third gen.?

I just picked up an M-21 rockcrusher for my 82' Z28. Does anyone know how to mount it to the crossmember because its about 4 inches too short? Or is there a company that makes a crossmember for doing this? I've also heard that 82-84' could come with a 4sp muncie, would that crossmember work?

woops, i don't really know to much about it i was just told that it could handle the torque that my engine is going to be producing, and i had picked up a parts car that had a 350 block and the M-21 in it so i figured why not. I have everything taken care off except the mounting of the panhard bar and the crossmember but it looks like I"m just going to have to make something totally custom for this one. thanks anyway
