I had to replace the transmission and decided to do some improvements on my tranny mount. I thought I would share what I think is a easy solution for the 1st Gen crossmember if you're doing this sort of swap. Find a 2nd Gen crossmember and things should be much simpler. The second generation has a pad welded to the rear of the crossmember compared to the first generation where the trans mounts right in the center. If running a 904 tranny the stock automatic mount should bolt right up. I tried to run the first gen mount and it was not nearly strong enough for the v8 swap. I'm going to stick with the crossmember I have been using because I would have to many things to change like exhaust and etc... But if I had to do it again I would use the gen 2 crossmember and hope this might help someone doing the same kind of build.IMG_20200326_182358~2.jpg
