Ok This is what i have got right now and I'm not sure if it is installed right. I have a 350 in a 65 that uses a mount on each side of the motor towards the front. My question is what supports the rear of the engine if I pull my transmission(which isn't installed). Right now I have the rear of the engine chained to my ceiling joist in my shop and it just doesnt seem like that should be the way to do it. I figure you should be able to remove the transmission without worrying if the rear of the engine is going to drop to the ground. Which brings me to my next question. I purchased a transmission crossmember from CPP that is supposed to be for a TH350, 700R4, and others. Today I was just trying to get an idea of where to mount the crossmember by using a empty housing of a TH350. When I put the crossmember in where it needed to be it was right on top of another crossmember that has the springs and other hookups for the emergency brake. I have a 66 pickup also so I crawled under it to see how the stock manual transmission is mounted and it has a transmission crossmember there but not the crossmember that I was talking about for the emergency brake. So I am pretty confused on what I need to do right now. obviously, having a transmission mounted is more important to me than having an emergency brake so do I need to remove it and mount the transmission crossmember in its place. As of right now I have no transmission crossmember mounted anywhere. I hope someone can help. Also, Once I get the crossmember where it needs to be will it be the same for the TH350 and 700R4 if decide to go with it.
Thanks
Brady
