<VV> preparing an engineless Corvair for transport

[Darrin Hartzler]

Hello all,

This is my first post to VV though I have been lurking for quite a bit. 

I need your creative solutions on the following challenge:  I will be 
picking up a new project in a couple of weeks.  A 66' Monza vert with no 
drivetrain installed.  It is up on jackstands right now (and looks 
comfortable that way, which is good as it will be introduced to my 
jackstands quite soon!)  Needs to roll onto a rental car trailer and 
travel 100+ miles. 

Can anybody offer the easiest way to prepare  this car for transport (I 
suspect installing a transmission and transaxe is it)? 

The car in question is an automatic tranny model.  I have a gearbox and 
transaxle from a 65' manual trans convert.  Can this be installed using 
the same mounts?  Are the crossmembers quite different?  Any other 
mounting differences that would prevent my use of this setup for 
transport?

Is it best to just bolt the engine in place?

Thanks much, and yes, I have the manuals.  Have not been able to really 
tell which mounting bolts will line up properly from these sources though.

Any crazy ideas welcome.
