Default TR6060 MG9 transmission mount and Crossmember

Hey folks - I’ve been searching high and low for some possible combinations to work with a Detroit Speed subframe. Seems no one makes a kit that works with confidence. The MG9 TR6060 (2015) mount bolts up to the side of the transmission. Does anyone know of a combination that works well with the Detroit subframe? I have the Detroit engine mounts with standard setback.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question. Are you looking for a crossmember that works with the DSE frame for a TR6060?

I dont know specifically for the 6060, but my T56 Magnum works well on the hooker blackheart crossmember in my DSE frame.

PART# 12626HKR

Can see it a bit in this pic (old pic so can get more recent if you'd like).

Thank you for the reply but the TR6060 is longer and the mount actually attaches to the sides. This has become the issue. I wish I knew for sure that I could use this cross member since I have the headers . I may have to purchase it and do some fabbing. I thought for sure someone would of solved this issue by now.

Is something like this an option?

Thank you ! Yep very odd. I ended up buying the mount cut it apart and made my own! Much better than the one I bought !

I figured out my situation recently. The CTS-V used a different tail shaft housing compared to the ZL1. Both are MG-9 but different tail shaft housing. I was concerned on what I had that is wasnt the MG-9 but it had the same serial numbers as the engine. That is the difference and the need for 2 mounts.

I have hooker motor mounts and got the blackheart crossmember and the poly mount. I am getting ready to see how it fits but may need to modify the crossmember. I never found much info on how this will fit. I may try and see if I can reuse the bracket that bolts to the transmission or make something
