Thanks, will do. Core support was junk anyways and this allows me to mock up fits without fighting it

I bet there not too easy to come by these days .
One option uses upgraded BBC style mounts with the crossmember dropped a few inches. Below is a pic of that mount.

Also a pic of the other way I'm tempted to go which is a fluid mount that the 4BT guys like for its smoothness. I'm not sure if just one per side will take the torque of my 6BT but I could do 2 per side maybe.
