Might be a bit longer for the axle... anyway, I finished up the low-profile trans mount. I was originally going to cut down a 1st gen w-body mount and use that for the lower part, however, it was a real chore to cut through loads of rubber and metal without making a stinking mess. Looking for possible other options, I read something about in the old days guys used to drill a hole through a hockey puck and use that. That got me thinking. I had a rubber mallet that I hardly use, maybe cut the ends of both sides like hockey pucks and bolt straight through from the mount support plate to the frame. It seems to work really well so far. Solid but has some give to it. I had the entire subframe out and on stands with the engine and trans mounted in position to test alignment. - and I know my welding looks like a noob did it, because I am one. I'm confident there's good penetration and the welds will hold, just doesn't look pretty. Here it is finished and attached. I don't know why I went with green paint, maybe because that's all I had left. Here are the holes drilled into the subframe once the 4T65e mount is cut off. This lines up with the two holes underneath that are in most 1st and 2nd gen subframes(but not 3rd gen/aluminum ones) which provides easy access for zipping bolts up in there when its in.
