Hi Jeff,
Don't know if the TF setup is much different than an AD, but I used a
pair of '37-'38 Chevy car motor mounts from Chassis Engineering. They
mount off the sides of the frame, just behind the MII crossmember. They
were a bit wide for the AD frame, but you trim them to fit. One nice
aspect is the steering shaft for the rack clears them nicely. I don't
know if the "tube" type mounts allow for clearance or not. Hope this
helps!
