Default need to choose a trasmission mount for my T56

I got an engine and trans out of a hit GTO and the trans mount was torn.

Since I have to buy a new one, would like to find something that fits better than the GTO mount. The GTO mount fit the cross member in a "V" shape.

I have my cross member made up and in the car. I have a flat area on the cross member to bolt the mount to, and the T56 has a flat two bolt mount.

What should I be asking/looking for that will bolt to the back of the trans, and is flat on the bottom. I have inches of room, it's not real tight. The overall height is going to be adjusted to get the angle of the trans right, I'd rather just make up a parallel sided spacer than making up some kind of a V block.

Any thoughts, or, better yet, pictures?

looking at NAPA, they have a hydrualic mount for $45.
Is that the one you're talking about, or do they have a solid rubber one too?

Hydraulic? Its a chunk of rubber

The auto mounts should be the same too. If it costs more than $10, you've got the wrong part
