Help,Think I'm missing a frame bracket?
When I found my car it was in a field and the motor and transmission were already removed from the car. My question is , Should there be a transmission mount of some kind on the crossmember with the two exhaust holes are? If so where do I find one? What am I looking for? Thanks for the help.

I believe the turbo400 just mounted to the crossmember through those 2 holes but I'm probably wrong
.
That IS an automatic crossmember(bolt on).
I know 350 or manual you need something like this.....

I don't see the mounting "ears" on your crossmember, tho.

FWIW: the AIM shows all this and lists the original GM part numbers for what you need.

Hi r,
"in a field" !!!!! You are a hero!
Here's a photo showing the 4-speed transmission crossmember, the transmission mount bracket, the rear transmission mount (thick rubber), and the bracket for mounting the exhaust.
While this is a 4-speed car, the parts for a automatic car are somewhat similar.
On an automatic car the rubber transmission mount bolts directly to the crossmember, but a exhaust mounting bracket is still used, along with a small french lock.
Good Luck!!
Regards,
Alan

Thanks for all the response, I do have the original TH400 that belongs to the car. Looks likes I need a rubber tranny mount. Also Mr.D I have plenty of jack stands, the tires are actually sitting on roll around Dolly's so I can move the frame around my shop. Here is the resting spot where I rescued my car from.

You deserve a medal for rescuing that Corvette. And we all thank you for doing it. Glad it's a dry OK car. Please keep a photo diary of your efforts.
PS can you take it easy on the Longhorns for a couple of years? Thanks
