I don't think there is one for an M block as it was discontinued before the 5 speeds came out.

solid runner what motor mounts did you use?? how did you build your trans mount crossmember and what you you do for a transfer case mount?? and what did you do for the 4x4 shift lever to come up through the original hole in the floor?? if you could post a few pics of that stuff it would be great, thanks
