? C2/C3 transmission mount I am ready to install drive train in my '67 corvette hybrid. Engine/tranny combo is LS1/4L60E from 2000 Camaro. I have S&P motor mount adapters bolted up. What is needed as far as the transmission mount. Can I leave the stock crossmember in place or will it need mods? How about stock mounts on the tranny? Any tunnel clearance issues? The frame should be the same for C2 and C3 years, I am actually using a '71 big block frame with Steeroids rack and VB&P monospring front suspension...Thanks, John
My goal was to make the mount bolt-on and not have to modify the crossmember since my frame is restored and very nice. If it wasn't, I would have done as others did and cut the crossmember off, place it where it should go, and then weld some tabs to make it bolt in. As is is right now, I will not be able to drop the transmission without moving the motor.
Here's my bracket. It itilizes the holes that go vertically through the crossmember as well as the tabs on the front to bolt the transmission down.
It's cantelevered off of the bottom of the member but with the horizontal attachments to the tabs, it doesn't move. There are washers between the poly tranny mount and the flat plate to correct the transmission angle.
