65 American with 304/904 swap cross member

I have swapped in a 304 with a 904 trans into my '65 American. I got all the top side stuff done, now I'm going underneath to button that stuff up. I was told the factory '65 trans cross member will work with the 904 but I'm not sure. I slipped the cross member under the car and then tried to slip the mount between it and the transmission but the mount is too tall it seems. I can probably raise the transmission high enough to fit the mount in there but the trans will get into my floor shifter and the kickdown rod will hit the body. I'd like to hear and see pictures of what you guys, who have done this swap, have done. The 304 and 904 are out of a '79 AMX. The trans mount I bought is for the same car. I can make the 904 and the '65 cross member work by building my own rubber mount but if there is an easier way or there is a different rubber mount that will work, I'd rather go that route of course.

I just happen to have a GM mount. I'll see what I come up with. Thanks. I was wondering about an '80's Wagoneer mount. They don't look a whole lot different than the GM mount.
