did some quick google work and found this thread from this site. it shows the torque mount and how it is mounted. its an old thread but still available. have you seen something like this in your box of goodies?

dsraven, thanks for that link, I just took a look at it. Those are some good pics showing the setup. Now, where to find a T-case bracket? If I can't find one, I can fab one. I'll also need to stiffen up the frame so I don't get the flex you mentioned. I still have the old cross member from under the transmission, so maybe that will come in handy.
