I know this is like the millionth question I've posted in a couple of days, but I promise, I'll stop soon.

1980 RC, 440 engine with short tailshaft 727.

This is currently the conglomeration that is my transmission mount:



It is my understanding, via the original owner, that he "thinks" this isn't the way it's supposed to be...

But I also notice that the tailshaft does not have the conventional 727 through-style mount. Almost looks like that first plate on the top is bolted into the housing.

My question would be, is there an appropriate mount for this trans for my application? Or am I going to be fabbing something together to make it hold. I should be able to just bolt the last piece of steel (on the bottom) to the trans, correct? I mean, it's got rubber isolators, so it should be fine. ?

Thanks all. Cheers
