Hello, I'm new to the list but have enjoyed reading and learning. Question is: Which motor/tranny mount setup is best to use for longevity and least amount of vibration transmitted to the frame? It's a 36 Chevy PU w/261,T-5,independent front suspension. Do I use the stock front 261 center mounted pad, the 55 and later donuts, or the two smaller ones used like on the cars? And the bellhousing? The two small stock ones(very rigid) on the front of the b/h or the large pads farther back on the later truck? I want to use the floor mounted pedals and not change much else. Thanks

on the bellhousing mounts i used the 50 truck mounts.they are rubber mounted.for the front i modified mine to a 2002 toyota pickup.it was a tight squeeze but the results were good.for the t-5 i realize you don't need a rear mount but i went with an aftermarket crossmember from obsolete ford in okc and used the stock s10 mount.this engine runs smooth and there is no vibration in the driveline.the engine that used to rock a little now is rigid.
