Blunttech and Ireland engineering sell conversion parts. If you want just the bracket pay shipping and you can have this one.

do not use a "C" type bracket.  they do not support the transmission well and eventually bend down from the leverage exerted on the mounts.  result is misaligned driveshaft and torn up guibo.

 

do it right.  get the mounts that bolt into the tunnel.

Massive Brake offer an inox bracket if you want to keep your actual tranny crossmember.

From an engineering and physics standpoint, you're correct, but I installed one anyway 'cause I didn't want to do any welding of new brackets which would involve seat and carpet removal, lying on my back in close proximity to the business end of a MIG welder etc.  

 

My C-shaped bracket came from a Shop That Will Remain Nameless in SLO, CA...and was installed in 2004. 60k miles later, no problems with lunched guibos, misaligned driveshafts etc.  

 

Your results may vary, but mine has been fine...so far.

I used Ireland's. My floor was jacked up so...mine took a bit of massaging to get right.

It's sturdy and well made.

Mine didn't look like this though, heavier gauge and Zinced.
