Here is the mount that bolts to the front crossmember. I may have the horseshoe also, just have to look.

You can always use a hockey puck. Don't laugh. Vulcanized rubber lasts forever. Thats what I used. And they make for great body mounts.

the reason I am asking this is because I bought a 61 D300 someone put a 361/5speed out of a S500 school bus chassis. the front mount bolts to front crossmember in factory holes and the tranny mounts bolt in fine in stock location. but the engine looked too low. I had someone with a 383 powered, 67 w300 take some measurements and I was right the front in mine ends up about 1.5 inches too low. so I was going to space up the front mount. then I looked at a D500 with small block and it mounts about 1.5 inches higher on front crossmember so I might just switch out that piece to my truck. or just space up the school bus piece. the school bus bracket is much more HD than the D500 small block piece. This is good new for anyone wanting to convert to BB. don't need to find the rare factory side mounts from 1 tons. lots of medium duty out there to get parts off.
