Re: V8 Swap

here's another idea for the trans mount. After I got my engine mounts figured out and drive line angle set, I bolted the trans mount to the bottom of the trans. Then I used some 3/16" plate to mount to the frame rail and hang down to the trans cross member. then bolted the plates to the frame and crossmember. That has worked well for many years and gives enough clearance for my under cab brake booster. It's a bit low but so far no scraping on the pavement
