Re: Gearbox Mount

That looks right for a stock piece Pat. But, I think you can actually do better by leaving out the lower mount, ditching the rubber block, and simply bolting down both top ears to the chassis with some small bushings. What this does is tilts the engine back toward level (in your configuration you'll find the engine tilted forward) and lowers the tranny backside about 1.5", and simplifies things. I'm pretty sure Hershals is like that and it works fine and looks better than the stock setup. He might have some pictures.
