Big Block 4WD
 
Has anyone done this?

My truck was converted many years ago and I have owned for 7 years. The engine is the original 402 and a manual SM465/NP205 combo was installed. The front crossmember and 2WD suspension was completely removed. A 4WD crossmember and frame mounts were installed, probably from a small block 4WD truck.

After dismantling the truck (see previous posts for pics) for restoration, I have noticed both left and right exhaust manifolds have been rubbing on frame. This driver's side is also cracked and may have been caused by the contact.

After a little research, I believe the motor mounts are wrong for this application. The engine needs to sit about a 1/2" higher.

Does anyone know the type of mounts that I could use for this?

I think mine are for a '74 or so vintage 454 in a truck. They sit real low as well, but they don't contact the frame.
