There was a post about motor mount stands here recently there nice and they use the late 70's and up motor mounts Id use those excpecially with a big block. Not saying stocky's wont work these are better and the newer motor mounts are a better design. Do you have fab tools like a welder and grinder, If so you can build a crossmember easily for the tranny, ECE also sells them, You will need to change your radiator mounts to the HD mounts out of a 3/4 1 ton you can also buy them from ECE because the 6 has a 2 row that sets off to one side and youll need the 4 row to keep the 454 cool
