Whoever thought that bracing the t-case to the frame was a good idea? It seems like that's a recipe for broken bellhousings and transmission rear housings, if the t-case can't budge at all, but the engine can move in its mounts.
My 1987 did not have a t-case to bell brace when I got it. I bought a brace for a th400/np208 truck that was the correct length for my sm465/np208 combo, and it still fits on my nv4500/np241 setup.
