Chip-first, a question, if I may. How similar is your Poncho (in relation to the motor mounts) to a SBC? If they're a similar distance center to center (across the motor) just pick up a set of bolt in frame mounts (RB's Obsolete comes to mind) and use them with the insulator mounts which bolt to the engine from a 400 equipped Firebird.
The tranny crossmember should be available as a direct bolt in, as well (try the same source). Your car has a bellhousing mounted trans crossmember? That'll have to go as well. Check your oil pan clearances...I
think I remember reading somewhere that those original "Rube Goldberg" knee action IFS steering linkages may cause some headaches.
GO FOR IT!! We're all pullin' for ya Chip, praying for a happy end to this story.
