early car - no problem. the trans mounts are big chunks of rubber on either side of the trans bolted to the car on a chassis rail with 2x 10mm bolts

late car - late mount is floppy but you can do it if you have no other option. the two bolts from the mount to the trans are torqued so really it's the clamping interface there carrying the load which is probably 2 sqin combined.

according to a chart i found on fastenal an M8 bolt at 16ftlbs has a clamp load of roughly 3500lbs so 2 of them would be 7k...
