I'm putting a 292 in my 53 3100 and a Tremec TKO 600. I'm boxing my frame and replacing all the crossmembers with tube except maybe the front. I agree you need support in that area. You will be picking up some on the trans crossmember but that's pretty far back and probably not enough. With the torque monster 292 there is a lot going on in that area. JMHO I'm no expert.
