Corvette 4L60E crossmember

Ok, I am putting a 94 vette Lt1 and 4l60e into an 89 firebird, and I can't find any information on what to use as a trans crossmember for this swap. the transmission mounting holes are in a completely different place on the vette 4l60e than they are on my 700r4, I was wondering if anyone has done a similar swap before...and what they used.

I may just end up going to a steel fabrication shop and have them fab something for me.

I believe the transmission is a different length so you'll need a new driveshaft too, and I think you'll have problems mounting the torque arm too.
