PM 71gold he makes a nice conversion crossmember. Im getting one from him as soon as I install a new front end.

I would get everything into position 1st. Then install the old brace to see how far back the mounting bracket must be. Then fab something up using the old brace as a model.

Just get one of Franks (71gold) mounts, they fit like a glove. I have one on my AOD.
