Rad Davis said the crossmember is the same as a car.  NOPE!!!
The tread width of an FC is wider than a car.  The horse collar main
suspension crossmember is wider and therefore the transmission mount is
wider than a car.  The A-arms are the same.  On a car, the line thru the
A-arm pivot points intersects the center of the U-joint, where on an FC it
doesn't.  This is why you must use the "articulated" rear axle bearings on
an FC, but might not have to on a car.  FC axles are also longer than a car.
