I'm putting a '03 5.3L/4L60E/Klune/Stak 300 in an MJ and am working on the tranny mount right now. I've got plans for something I like, but am wondering what others think of my plans. Here's a pic of the motor mounts from the front:

They are about 15" apart. Here's a pic of my plans for the tranny mount:

I used XJ lower control arm rubber mounts for the motor mounts and plan to use two more for the tranny mount. They will be about 7" apart at the tranny end. The cradle around the Klune will be attached on either end of the Klune. One end with a 1/4" spacer/mount from Klune and the other end will be connected to the Advance Adapters tranny adapter. What do you all think about torque control and stresses on the various components with this design?
