My 66 Cuda

oK finally got around to putting the motor in the car. I was waiting on the tranny to get rebuilt so i could drop both in together. I got the tranny from the shop the other day so i was ready. I mated the tranny to the motor and got it ready to drop in. Oops we could not get the crank pulley clear of the front end. I decided to just put the motor in by itself so that i can get the ignition wired up and fire the engine here in a week or so. Still have to get the starter on before i can fire it up. I was wondering what is the best way to support the rear of the motor and where to support it since the tranny is not installed yet. The last pic shows how little clearance the exhaust has from the steering looks like custom headers is my only option. Please any suggestions welcome.
