OK, since we're on the topic, I am also doing a I6 to V8 conversion and a 3spd manual to TH350 swap. Already took out mid-mount crossmember. I thought someone said on here to swap the I6 perches(left to right, right to left) and put them in the front holes. I tried that, doesn't line up. Do I have to bend the bottom of the perch to get it to line up with the holes on the crossmember? Since I'm doing a complete swap, I want the 350 in the front holes and I'll install the tranny crossmember where it lines up with the trans. Or just search the boneyard for V8 mounts already in front holes, that way I know I'll get the right ones. Sorry to bust in on your dilemma, just that I had a similar question and no sense posting a new thread for the same topic.
