Scott,
Just food for thought. With all the stress that motor puts the driveline through, maybe all-solid mounts aren't the best idea. The more you lock things up, the more the stress migrates to other "weak" spots. Unless you have installed something like an 8 point cage to stiffen the whole chassis, the original type frame will flex throughout the car, causing local fractures and misalignment. A little "give" in some areas might be helpful. As for the trans, What do they use in Trans-Am, GT1, W/C roadracing etc? Surely isn't a Tremec. The Jericho works fine on the street, just use the clutch like normal and there is no problem. So who can hear a little extra gear whine over all the other music that ride generates.

Amazingly for once, I have to agree with Cranky, dump that little motor and get an FE. I'd be honored to help you with your search for a well sorted big block car, although it would be glass instead of aluminum. Due to my increasing reliance on Depends, Malox, and thicker glasses, I need to move on to a less demanding ride. Maybe we could come to a mutually positive solution?
