Awesome, Thank you Grigg! Yes I bought the V8 & automatic trans conversion tubed crossmember kit. I have not seen an aftermarket Manual crossmember for the SM465 so I plan on using the automatic crossmember from the kit.
I will have to play around with the rear mount as the transmission originally had the single bolt mount and the crossmember plate being set up for a th350 has the two bolt mounting holes in it.
So if I understand correctly when using a multiple shaft setup the engine and transmission will be level then the half-shaft will be 1 to 1.5 deg obtained by shimming the carrier bearing as needed. I will have to check the stock pinion angle on the 14 bolt axle.
