Default 4.8 and TH350 in Fox: What transmission mount to use?

So I am putting a car back together with a 4.8 and TH350. The car has a tubular K member and aftermarket transmission crossmember on it.
I am wondering what I really need as far as transmission mount goes.

I called Stifflers and they told me I need their adapter and a mount but that seems way too high. Do you guys think I could get away with just a stock TH350 mount?

My car is on the Left. Stiffler is on the right.
As your can see my crossmember has an arch and theirs dips.
It seems like their adapter is for putting a TH350 behind a 5.0 maybe?



I may just go with this.

If that’s an AJE crossmember, you don’t use a mount.

Thanks. Not sure what brand it is but looks like an AJE. Only problem is it looks like the trans can’t go all the way down on the crossmember because of the vacuum modulator (see below). I guess I will just make my own short mount or use plate steel or something to get it up higher.
