I'm mocking up my '55 F100 which will have a Ted built y-block with John's heads and manifold when they become available. My question is can I hang the T5 off the back of the bell housing or do I need to add a transmission mount? I plan on using the original front mount which a single point mount and using the wide mounts on the bell housing. The original 3 speed transmission hung off the back of the bell housing but the transmission housing was made of cast iron. The T5 actually feels lighter but it has an aluminum case. If I need a transmission mount I think I would need to go with engine mounts on the sides which would interfere with the ram horns that I plan on using.

Thought?
