Good question on the body mounts. I thought I had seen them somewhere, but I don't see them in the LMC catalog either. May be another case where we have to make creative use of pickup and blazer parts--again. I bet someone here will know.

As for the trans, check out the option list on your glove box door. It should say what it came with originally. It sounds like you may have a passenger car manual trans installed now. Post some pics if you can. Lots of options there, as has been mentioned. I've always liked the close-ratio T-19, but it's rare and a hassle to install on Chevy's, I think. It was the only thing I liked about a Scout I used to have....

It was nice of the guy who stole your heater core to totally destroy the air box. I predict you will be able to pick up many of the parts you need easily and reasonably on these boards.

Good luck, welcome, and keep updating!
