I didn't see too many threads with pictures here or people who've done it so I decided to make one to start. I just finished swapping an '88 42RH into my 1980 Volare. Only the crossmember needed work to make it fit.
The factory column shifter bolted up and works well, and I'm using a lokar kickdown. The driveshaft length with an 8.25 rear was 41.75" centre to centre. I used a GM transmission mount on a modified stock transmission mount. I'm controlling the lockup and overdrive with toggle switches for now.
Here are a few pictures.
