Default Tranny Mount Question

I just finished putting an ls1/t56 into my 70 camaro. I'm using solid motor mounts, and I'm wondering whether I should use a solid tranny mount as well?

Unless you have an ultra stiff cage in the car, I would recommend against all 3 solid mounts. You need some give for when the chassis flexes, other wise you will crack your tranny case. At least that is what I have seen happen in the past. I suggest a rubber mount for the tranny.
