Food for thought...
I have a 41 pickup with the "X" frame. Pete and Jake among others make a kit to spread the X for a T5 installation. That being said it seems to me fabricating a X brace while designing it to accept a T5 would solve both of your problems.The X brace on a convertible makes sense but many have said it is overkill on the old trucks and cars. As a teenage a bunch of us pulled a Olds powered 46 sedan out of a field and put a convertible body on it with great results, so I'm pretty sure it will work...
