Nice! I did find a set of brackets and mounts on ebay, and I also found these aftermarket trailblazer mounts which look to give even more clearance:

I'm not sure I like that bushing style for motor mounts though. It looks like they were created in response to TB owners' mounts breaking, but I think I'll go with the stock mounts and brackets at first unless I run into clearance/breakage issues.

I will be running an f-body pan which is shallower above the crossmember, so I think I may try to sink the mounts into the crossmember to the point where the bottom of my oil pan ends up just slightly above the crossmember bottom. Do you foresee any problems with that approach based on your experience?
