Too easy. The trans crossmember is not reproduced (either the 4-speed or C6) but they can be found used. Well, I know Crites makes a C6 rear crossmember, not exactly a repro, but it will certainly work. The engine mount assemblies are available entirely new.

Thanks alot guys. I am workink on a gold coupe that has a I6/3 speed that I picked up a year ago. It`s pretty clean w/minor rust on floors and cowl area.Built a 428 to a 462 using Keith Kraft 4.25 forged crank kit and crossbolt mains.
