sorry no pics , but years ago . i needed to modify my barracuda for twin 2.25 throw flowmasters . i used a hole saw about 2 1/2 -3 inch in dia on a 1/2 driver drill motor , the shaft of the center drill is 1/4 dia shaft so i removed that centering drill , i welded a piece of 1/4 shaft rod to the bottom of the trans cross member with the shaft hanging out on both front and rear on that member , oiled the shaft and used it as a centering rod in the center drill hole of the hole saw and bore / cut that cross member from both sides , and welded in a @180 deg piece of tubing to fill that gap in the cross member that i cut the notch in . and the other side of that piece of tubing , was used to fill in the gap on the trans bracket as well . and on the passenger side exhaust pipe must have a parting flange placed in it to be able to remove that trans bracket for clutch repairs , not a bad idea for both sides of the exhaust pipes , this was the coolest storage i ever had .
