As far as tranny mount we have a old school chevy tranny mount that lines up with Ford tranny cross member.

What exhaust manifolds or headers are you using 6Lstang?

The manifolds are also off the truck. A set of camaro manifolds would have made it a lot easier as it took quite a bit to make these work. I used the camaro ones for my last one and decided to try these this go around.

nice... we are still on hold with ours. Hope to start working on it again this month.

did you have to cut the flanges on the truck manifolds to make them work?

I have C5 manifolds and truck manifolds... plus a set shortie LSx headers for a street rod... we will see what works after we get a custom K-member.

Didnt have to cut them but on the frame rail took a little heat and hammer to make em work lol
