I'm coming from a 3OTT, this is the trans xmember i have and it came with this mount Har har "$34 Value!" sells separately for $23... Is there a height difference on the mounts or is it just the 4L80 single stud vs the two bolt setup here? FWIW, the mount bolts up to the trans okay.

I'm using the stock V8 stands, and Now that I think about it, the oil pan was a little close to the brake lines on the back of the engine crossmember for my liking, so I might go ahead and try the setback mounts to fix that, and then see where it puts me for the rest.

Thanks so far, guys.

EDIT: Looks like the carshop inc. plates use that slight offset as well, think i'll give them a whirl.
