    I’m converting my 73 commando from a t14 to a turbo 400. I have everything except the transmission mount. Where can a find such a unit?

    Looks like you may have to custom fab something to work with that or find a NOS part.

    I don't think the mount bolts up directly under the adapter. I seem to recall it's offset.
    Which would mean you need a heavy metal plate or 3 sided piece of channel that bolts to the adapter to assist in the offset mounting of the rubber mount.
    Look for photos of full size Jeeps with T400; that might help visualize what I'm trying to explain.

    That sounds like what I removed from my stock T14 mount in the CJ5.

    I used the Novak adaptor and the mount they sell. I did have to elonggate a hole and drilled a new one.
