That '35 - '36 stamped steel mount on the trans is built so that it can be flipped and mounted in either of two positions on the trans, as a way of making-up the difference for the'33 & '34 4-cylinder engine blocks being 1-1/2" longer than a V8 block. Ya gotta see it to understand it. '33 & '34 V8s and 4-cylinder cars have different length drive shafts and torque tubes, and this was a unique way to make-up for the differences.
