Try this one my dad and I used cab mounts from a peterbuilt to mount a 453 detroit deisel , 5 speed trans and a 3 speed brownie in a 77 chev 1 ton the mounts are two piece and round flanges on both pieces and a steel tube through the middle. at that point you would just have to fab a little to make them work .

I've seen a lot people use bushings like that. Would you keep the stock TC bushing?

I've seen where the washer is domed, and the hole in the bracket/frame is bigger than the hole in the washer so that the bolts can wobble around (ok, maybe just vibrate) freely.

That's a pretty cool design. One thing that jumps out at me is that over time the bolts would oval out the holes in the frame, unless you did something interesting with the holes and the washers.

All this and it would be a PITA to install begin that it sits on TOP of the frame brackets rather than mounted below.
