TII tranny mount

My wonderful bridgeport is gonna be retiring soon for a sweeter, QUIETER turbo setup. During the fun process I plan on slapping my s5 TII tranny into it, all i need now is a damn clutch. I know for sure that i have to mod the mount a bit ( i did it on my RX2 but it came out kinda lame). I was just wondering if any of you guys w TII trannys got any pics of your mounts and how you did it. i gotta do it right this time.

I suggest using an s4 tranny mount, it's a lot easier to mount. But in order to do that, you have to use an s4 tailhousing, and to do that, you have to take off the harmonic balancer on the tailshaft of the s5 transmission. These pains are still a lot easier than modding an s5 mount to fit an fb....

to answer your question, i have no pics of the modded mount. All i did was extend the holes to fit the FB body, using the stock FB bolts (studs).

thought about the ITB's but it was cheaper and easier for me to get the bigger holley style throttle body. I've got the engine torn down so I can get the housings ceramic coated. I'll post pics when it's up again.

didn't you have to throw a 3/4 inch spacer in there or something? I'm also gonna be mounting a ser 4 t2 tranny soon (hopefully)
