T56 conversion with hawks mount. What bushing

I'm putting in a 5.3 with a T56. I'm using a Hawks crossmember. My question is do I use energy suspension trans mount for the car I have or the car the trans came from??

89 trans am

I'm getting 3 different numbers.
3-1158
3-1142
3-1108

Thanks

If you're talking about the mount that goes between the tailhousing and crossmember, I used the t5 one. And it's worked fine so far.

Re: T56 conversion with hawks mount. What bushing

iirc the bushing is the same from 82-02.i bought a poly mount when i did my t56 swap the years ago.i think its a universal mount for 700r4 and works with t5 and t56.it had 3 different bolt hole locations depending on the trans.ive been using mine for yers..no issue,no squeaks and the trans feels firm.the oem rubber ones had too much play for my liking and didnt last as long in my experience.
