I've solid engine and standard rubber T56 mount on my T56.
I think a softer mount for the trans isnt so much to accommodate what happens the trans itself, more the chassis.
Engine/trans bolted together is a substantial solid piece. However the chassis would be far more prone to twisting, especially durinng launch etc.
If you bolted engine/trans solid to the chassis and the chassis itself wasnt very rigid, then the chassis would be trying to twist the crap out of the weakest part...the trans mount

Twisting the chassis on this uni body is defiantly a concern of mine. I guess tying the trans mount into the "frame" is probably the best bet here. I didnt really think about all the load being transferred to the weakest link "trans mount"
Where are you guys getting these rubber mounts? Is it something i can pick up at oriellys or autozone? Id love to make some progress on it this weekend.

Got some goodies for the car.. I kinda threw together the trans mount but it's not that bad.. All I had was argon so the mig welds look like ****. Also NO the bolt with 30 washers is not permanent, it's just there for mock up. On all 4 points of contact there is a piece of SBC rubber motor mount. Not my best work but I think it will be fine. I cut slots in the 1X1 and slid them into the old trans mount so it should be nice and strong with weld on top and bottom.
