You will probably have to put it behind the crossmember. Just take a look. It's possible to do it & still be able to drop the driveshaft w/o removal.
Yes, custom ex.

Heddmen makes X-pipe kit in 2.5 and 3 inch. I installed min right behind the
cross member......Ck Summit or Jegs on the kits. If you have someone who can bend pipe for you, just buy the crossover, and have the exhaust made to fit your application.

Here's a pic of my crossover on a 74 small block with Dynomax headers and 2 1/2 inch pipes. It goes in front of the crossmember under the 4 speed.

From what I have read you can use a smaller diameter pipe than you mine pipes for a crossover (but you should use a larger diameter for X-pipe), that should help make it easier to bend and give a bit more clearence.
