Need Opinion-Transmission mounts-help!

[hotrod1]

The delima:

Option:
A) Use a standard transmission urethane (in picture 1) mount which I rather not use because my motor and trans already sit low in the frame and the cross member will hang too low as well.

B) Use urethane bushings (picture 2) in the ends of the cross member (picture 3) while hard bolting the cross member to the trans. preferred option for me. Am I going to run into problems doing it this way like trans tailpiece cracking or are these bushings good enough? By the way, the engine mounts have the same bushings on them for mounting the engine to the frame.

I want to keep the cross member as high as possible but if I use option 1, that large mount will force me to mount the cross member low because it is so tall.


What is you opinion and why?

Thanks in advance!!!!
