Rick, the main trans mount had to be fabricated with a combination of the OEM trans mount and original rubber part, which sits on an aluminum tab that's part of the engine cradle.
The OEM (r) front engine mount remains intact but we added two solid ones to the trans case .One in the left front behind the starter, and one where the right axle exits the trans.
The transmission will sit firmly in place while the engine is out of it.
About 2930 with no ballast.

Bob, I'd love to see that , but you'd have to get in line...
