One part I'm still looking for to drop the 350/350 combo into the 61 is a high speed tranny mount. Am I just not looking in the right place? Seems like up to 59 and after 62 are no problem. 1960-1962 = problem.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Is this an aftermarket part of an original part? I have never heard of a "high speed trans mount".

Ha, sorry. I normally refer to all the specialty after market stuff as high speed. Most of it in jest because it doesn't seem to be built as well as the original parts, but some of the after market parts are pretty high speed.

Long story longer, I've only found one factory automatic crossmember, and they seem to be pretty rare. With that in mind, thought maybe an after market cross member might be a better route. Even in the after market, the 60-62 trucks don't have many options for a purpose-built mount.

Just looking for ideas. Will probably have to get a mount from a different year and fabricate it to fit.
