The stock tranny is a 700R4. Look into a polyureathane mount & double check your front motor mountsto see if theyare worn. Your mechanic is full of it. There are 100s of thousands of Fbody's out there with more torque than your 3.1.

no matter what size engine it has, it more than likely has a 700 r4 tranny in it w/ different sized bell housing to bolt up to different sized engine blocks and the bigger engines use the same tranny mount so its not ur torque thats doin it my 305 tpi doesnt bust the tranny mounts when it shifts into second so hard it kicks sideways, uve just got somethin wrong.
