'70 521 L16 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 the only think i need to start making progress on my truck again is a shortened transmission mount. unfortunately, i quit my job and have had trouble finding a new one. now i'm not complaining or anything but i thought maybe i could trade some parts i have for one since i don't have a welder and i can't find anyone who will do it for me free. i have an l16 block, unknown head (can't find casting marks but needs valve stem seals), 200mm flywheel, stock 521 transmission, and the front half of the driveshaft. the engine ran when pulled. started right up every time. it smoked but the carb way dialed waaay too rich. you can have whatever you want if you want to pay shipping. it's worth a shot right?

datzenmike Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 This is for installing a 620/28z/zx 5 speed This is for mounting a dogleg 5 speed . Link to comment
'70 521 L16 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 the transmission is from an 84 720 but that does look about like what i need. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 What engine are you using? Link to comment
'70 521 L16 Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 l20. it's all in and everything but the transmission is basically resting on the crossmember. :( Link to comment
tdaaj Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Use a piece of 3" angle iron, bolt straight to cross member and bolt you rubber mount to it, its the right length. Link to comment

Unless you have swapped the front case to an L series that transmission isn't going to sit on the rear mount properly. L tranny left. This is how the 720 tranny will look when installed... right.
