It's been years since I placed the engine, but I used these Trans Dapt mounts:

IIRC, I just temporarily installed the radiator, dangled the engine/trans in the bay, left enough room for the fan and welded the front mounts in. Then I used a tube crossmember for the trans, modified to miss the power brake unit under the driver's side. No tunnel mod required.

If I had it to do again I would have moved it toward the radiator a little more, because the distributor is really snugged in under the firewall pocket. I can get the distributor out, but it's close.

Somebody else should be able to give you better tips than this. I was winging it (again).
