Re: V6 a/t adaptor-ebay
this is copy from the 6066 forum
 This will allow you to directly bolt up of any of the Chevrolet style automatics to your V6, the TH350, or the TH400, or any of the 700R4, the 4L60 and the 4L60E overdrives. With gas prices going ever higher, any and everything you can do to increase mileage helps.  Mine is identical to the one listed on E-bay and in excellent shape, but mine also includes with it the later model engine side motor mount brackets that use the less expensive and much easier to find Chevrolet interlocking style motor mounts, which will prevent the engine from doing somersaults under the hood if one should break.  Just something to think about, but since converting to an automatic will eliminate the 2 bell housing mounts and only adds one transmission mount, you're going from a 4 point anchorage system to a 3 point, and the engine mounts are the only thing keeping the engine upright under the hood. The original V6 motor mounts are not up to task even if they are still in decent shape, once the bonded rubber tears free from the metal on either side, the only thing keeping the engine in place would be gravity. The interlocking Chevrolet motor mounts would keep the engine in place even if the rubber did tear or break free from the metal brackets. This would also prevent any kind of loss of throttle control that could happen if the original style GMC motor mounts were used and failed. Like I said, just something to think about.
