If it doesn't tear your transmission in half, I guess you're golden!

AWESOME!!! I thought it only happened to Fords. FWIW I think you'll probably be ok, Sally.

Looks good
It took me the same amount of time jus to get my old transmission and transfer case out
Bummer.... after reading about mounting drive trains and finding out where the TH400 is prone to break I went out to look at mine and how I have it mounted. Yep, I found the crack..... What really bugs me is that I just got the T Case mounted and now I have to pull the entire drive train out to replace the case..
really pisses me off!
Anyone have a junk TH400?

Maybe you need to re-think your re-thinking? You haven't had any trouble with it or your tranny case, have you?
negative. Good point.
What is your take on the poly mounts?
I never had a problem with poly bushings for motor mounts, but broke my TH350 case using them as tranny mounts in my first buggy. I cured it by changing to a single poly bushing in the middle instead of two at each "framerail".
Second buggy I took the easy/fast way out since I ran out of time, and had a bushing at each side again. I got lucky and never broke the TH400 in that one, but I was always nervous.
My Willys build, I'm using somewhat softer rubber bushings for motormounts, so I'll have to be careful to not have a rigid trans mount.

I went for over a year half of hard wheeling and comps with the atlas unsupported and never had a problem. The first trip out with the stak broke the th350 in half. I had it mounted the same way as the atlas. I added a support to the lower back RT to stop the twisting the TC will cause when you have a hard hit. I used the the same poly mounts on the tc as I did on the motor. I never had any issues after or broken case after I put the support on.

so basically running the same mount as I have but adding polly motor mounts.

I only ran one support do to room. I was the same idea, but I used the holes on the bottom and mounted to the cross member. I used the same poly bushings for the TC as I used for my motor mounts.
