Yeah I know what you are saying about that subframe.I have been debating building one myself.Couldn't I get the same vibration dampning off that stock tranny mount and leave off the frame to crossmember rubber mounts?I think I could get most of the hieght needed this way.
So chuck would this work?Mike I love that drawing,You're a real artist.

The only thing that might be wrong with the drawing above is the bottom of the trans mount has to be the same height as the top of the cross member.

What ever you do decide, just tack it in place and try that first. ( car idle for vibration ) If you do not like it the tack welds are easy to remove. Just a thought.

I know it's hard to tell with the fisheye effect of the camera, but it looks like it'll hold.

Mine I used some 2"OD washers and no rubber mounts on the crossmember and it sits good now. Still have more work ahead of me tho.I want my 83 running before I touch that turbo again tho.

One of my rubber washers is messed up so I'll put another one in when it's time to do the 20B.



Suprisingly, the tilt isn't all that bad on mine.
