Transmission mounting idea........

[47AD]

Just wanted to throw this out there and get some feedback. My truck is a 47 1/2 ton AD. I'm going to use a 265 V8 (lot of family history with this setup) in this truck and was going to use a 5 speed manual trans. I have been also considering using an automatic trans (200R4). Since the 265 uses 2 front engine mounts (no side mounts) the transmission will need to be supported off of the back of the engine. What I'm thinking might work is using something similar to this:

The rear motor mount crossmember would need to have a section cut out for the transmission to fit and the remaining crossmember pieces attached to the left side of the frame and right side of the frame would need to be configured for these trans mounts to work. The tail shaft of the transmission will also be supported.

I'm staying with a solid front axle that will be dropped 2 inches so no frame mods will happen there and I was just thinking of any flexing of the frame that might cause any damage to the drive train. It won't be a work truck but will be my daily driver.
