Crites engine mounts come with these trans. crossmember extend brackets. But I don’t think I need them. I believe I can’t just flip the factory crossmember around
The factory trans. crossmember is arched so flipping it gives you a few more inches which you need (the 460 & c6 trans sets back further)
There’s identical holes on each side to support using the the parking brake cable when flipped either direction

Will use Cruise-O-Matic mount & drill new narrower holes

using the summit racing starter that came on the old 460 – had a local re-builder freshen up the insides
for some reason the mount bolt hole didn’t line up with the cross-member hole – After taking some measurement found out the trans. cross-member frame brackets aren’t centered
