I think I'm just going to pick up some 1st gen mounts then. They have to be cheaper than the $350 the conversion shops want.

Hmm. I wonder if those will fit a newer block. That'll save me a load of cash... Which I'll blow on an Eaton Procision dual clutch trans instead of an Allison 1000.

If I find them, I'll let you know! So far just searching around the net I haven't found anything more than the rubber part of the mount.

You're not going wrong if you get the conversion mounts very easy to install, worth the money. I'm in Ohio and got mine in 3 days then about 2 hours to get it in the Ex.

Do all mounts require the trans to be moved back and drive shafts modified?

I used a built 47rh and my ford transfer case. My rear drive shaft is about 3 or 4 inches too long but mine is an 04 Ex. I guess it depends on what transmission you are using.

I used an nv4500/ford case. Cross member stayed in the same spot but I had to drill new holes for the mount.

On mine I had to shorten the front shaft 2" and lengthen the rear driveshaft 2". The rear shaft from an extended cab, short bed powerstroke/auto/4wd super duty fit perfect.
