Well I finally got the dummy block in and mounted up my trans with the new bellhousing. I put in the new front engine mounts with no problems but I never thought about the trans mount.
They make the automatic trans mount for v8 conversions but not for a v8 with the orriginal trans that I can find.
Does anyone know of a company that makes a trans mount for the orriginal trans bolted to a v8? Or if anyone has done this to theirs and made a coustom mount. Would you mount it at the end of the block and have the trans hang like orriginal? I am worried about the torque so I am thinking of making a mount that holds the end of the tranny and might make a mount for the end of the block as well. Would that be too many mounts?
The reason I kept/rebuilt and went with the orriginal trans is that I wanted to keep the pto for the hoist as well as keep the truck as orriginal as possible other than the engine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I will add pics in two to three days of the install.
