1983-85 Transmission Mount Substitute

As some of you may know, no one makes a transmission mount for an 83-85 4x4 ranger or BII. I found one that works, after putting up with my 3rd broken mount since I put the V8 in. The 86 and later mount won't work in an 83-85 with the stock crossmember, because it's taller, and would push the trans/t-case up against the floor.

I found the trans mount for an 1980 F-150 works. It's about 1/8" shorter than the stock mount, and that worked in my favor, to get more exhaust clearance on the passenger side.

Anchor part # 2448.


You'll need some 7/16-14 nuts. The stud threads are standard, instead of metric.
