Current Performance has a set of poly mounts that work great. That's what I have on mine. I'm putting together the fuel system in my '96 right now. It would be easier if I had used the stock tank but I wanted a tank behind the axle for added weight at the rear. These trucks are notorious for not hooking even with caltrac bars and ET streets.

^^^This. So long as the trans is centered and is SQUARE, along w/correct driveshaft/pinion angles, you are good to go.
The mounts are different BECAUSE the frame is NOT symmetrical.

FWIW, Cal-Tracs have put Bobby Flippen's 1st gen in the 4's if I'm not mistaken. Something like a 1.13 60" time too. He runs sliders I believe, but there are PLENTY of folks running shackles and hooking S10's with Cal-Tracs, weight transfer, and simply dialing the set-up in. You cant just bolt them on and jerk the tires.
