as i thought an originally stated, u have an auto trans mount bracket. the markings mentioned will be on the top side of the trans bracket iirc. be sure to support the trans with a floor jack/trans jack when u remove the cross memeber, as its very easy to strip the bolts out if u dont, then u have an entirely different can of worms to deal with. support the trans such that u can leave the jack in place so everything will easily line back up. driveshaft is fine, especailly with a stock motor. if u start doing mucho power adding u can start to worry about engagement and such, but u got plenty now even if its not exactly right

Making my own bracket is a walk in the park. I have a few when dropping ka motors into 510's. Thank you all for the info .. very appreciative

Maybe the mounts are backwards? Just spitballing here.

You saying Engine mounts ? Cause Trans mount is on correctly...

Slo_lo_zenki · 10-28-2012, 09:55 AM

if i can get a pic of someones thats lined up , that would be great... but at this point i think i may just make a crossmember that lines up
