I think my best option is to see exactly where the bellhousing aligns to my current crossmember.
If they align with one another, it would appear that the issue will be the need for a custom angled block to make the two mount surfaces parallel and the allow for a space for a rubber bushing.
If this doesn't align or appear to be more work, I guess I can always fall back to getting the original housing, assuming that the SM420 transmission will bolt up to it.
I believe the cross members are in the same place, right at the back of the bell housing. Adding custom mount wedges and the rubber mounts will raise the back of the trans to where it might be into the floor.
As mentioned one other hurdle will be to figure out the shift linkages.
Your SM-420 doesn't have any shift linkages...it's a floor shift.
