You could use an '82 crossmember if I remember correctly.

You could use a later model crossmember Or you could use one of these. IT work great in my 1977 and the exhaust goes under it.

You'll need the driveshaft from an 82 corvette. The TH700R4 is longer than the automatics used in previous years.

You can use a 1982 crossmember. One thing to note about it: it has a single 'cutout' for the exhaust pipe on the passenger side. The 1982 had a single catalytic converter. So the exhaust makes a Y shape into a single pipe before the crossmember, then an upside down Y to go back to dual exhaust tips after the crossmember. Something to think about.

Good Luck!!!

Also... many companies make a dual exhaust kit for the 80-82 with single exhaust crossmember. It is basically a set of duals that snake their way side by side under the bump on the crossmember.

This is for an 80-82... but if you use the 82 crossmember, it should work fine for you if you have OE manifolds.
