Anyone have any pics or suggestions on the trans crossmember for putting a Powerglide behind a bbm in an ebody?

You can actually use the stock crossmember piece if you want. With a little fab work it is a piece of cake. Remove the stock mount, and adapt the PG mount to the stock crossmember. IIRC you are within 1-1.5" of it aligning. Done it a few times for folks.

From the rough measurement I took, seems the Powerglide mount is 4" closer to the front of the car than the 727.

Measure it again
So, what measurement data do you have?  my original cross member has been modified, so I know that the powerglide mount is about 4" different from a Doug Nash.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I think you need to keep in mind that the stock crossmember has a stock mount that is involved also. The mount is forward facing in the crossmember which put the actual mounts fairly close together.
Do you have the stock mount? If so you can see what I am talking about. It is pretty simple to fab a mount for the PG using the stock crossmember. Just get a PG mount and from there a little steel plate and some cutting and welding and you will be thee in no time.
Sorry I dont have any pictures of it, never thought about it.
