I'm contemplating swapping a '74 360/727 into my '67 Belvedere, which has a 225/3-spd. I am wondering what I would need for a trans cross-member/mount. I was thinking I could use an aftermarket (cable) shifter and a Bouchillon kickdown kit, and of course, add a cooler. Are there any other trans issues I'm overlooking? Thanks in advance.

I'd be surprised if the trans crossmember was different, maybe even same mount. No knowledge of the rest

The 3-speed and the auto use the same rear crossmember, the 4-speed is different.

you are going to have to change the k-frame or use conversion mounts such as Schumacher

Do both use the spool type trans mount?

Yes, I have a V8 k-member for it (Schumacher does not make mounts for it). I was just unsure about the trans mount. Thanks.
