Keeping in mind this was a few years back (11!), I had the same goodies for setting up my ’35 Roadster and allowed the trans mount to drive the placement front to back, but found it too far forward. The fix was to mod the Chassis Eng. trans. mount to allow the trans to slide back bit so the trans pan still clears the center X-member for service. Then I trimmed the motor mounts to clear my inner box plates and drop the motor so the stock SBC oil pan had about ¾ of an inch clearance to the stock Mustang II cross member and tacked ‘em in. You really need to watch the valve cover/firewall clearance setting things back, but the improvements in center of gravity for a better ride makes it worth the effort.
Have fun building!!
