]2eDeYe Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 Which transmission are you using? Quote Link to comment
Socalman Posted June 30 Author Report Share Posted June 30 I am using a 71B, I bought a 620 mount… Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 Does it bolt up to the transmission? If not, they sent the wrong mount. Quote Link to comment
Socalman Posted June 30 Author Report Share Posted June 30 It does not, that’s what I was trying to figure out. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment
Socalman Posted July 3 Author Report Share Posted July 3 So redeye’s bracket and correct mount all lined up great. But trans seems to be offset to the right side. Engine seems correctly set with brackets and mounts it came with..it longer than the 4 speed but hopefully I can still be comfortable shifting once I put the bench seat back in it…..any thoughts? 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Looks like the transmission is rotated, not sitting level. Could the two front mounts be swapped? Is that a welded L for left? Quote Link to comment

It’s a 71B, I don’t know if it’s from an L series, it bolted up to the Z24 block, I used the 4 speed upped dust plate and L series starter. I was sold the engine and transmission that was installed in a 510. I saw pictures of the engine in the car but not the transmission…any markings to look for? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 What engine mounts are those? They don't look factory. Quote Link to comment

Can you take a picture of the top front of the transmission where it bolts to the engine. This one was made before 1980 so was never used on a Z series engine. To fit a KA it would need the front case swapped. If an L series transmission the rear half would be twisted to the right somewhat like what you have. Quote Link to comment

Those are the mounts it came with from a 510 car. Here is a picture of the left mount in the car, you’ll need to zoom in, I can’t really be swapped because of the oil filter as seen in second picture.. 1 Quote Link to comment

It’s pretty tight in there but I’ll add some pictures of it before I cleaned it up…. 1 Quote Link to comment
