Shelboss, looking at your pic, I noticed a couple of interesting things. First, your frame mount is turned towards the front, whereas mine is turned 'backwards' i.e. the stud from the rubber mount is bolted on the flat 1/4" plate on the backside of the 2"x2" post, otherwise it looks the same. I guess the next best way would be to measure from the pinion flange to the back of the block(?) I kind of roughly measured it out, and if I attach mounts w/ studs forward, the T-5 tranny mount falls somewhere into the round part of the transmission crossmember, missing the flat mounting extention. Flipping the mounts around will move the assembly forward a couple of inches, thus hitting the tranny mounting plate. And then keep my fingers crossed that the Midstates sidepipes and headers fall where they should. It seems the Contemporay Assembly Manual floating around only covers the earlier Contemporarys. Two, it looks like your outriggers are cut out for the long radius rod for the rear suspension. Three, your garage looks like mine, too many parts, not enough space. I built a rolling 'dolly' for my body, so I could roll it out and work on the chassis. Hard to build one of these in a 1.5 car garage w/ 2 motors on stands, transmission laying around, rear suspension parts scattered and all of the other necessary pieces. Thanks.
