Motor mount questions
 

Hey guys,
I've done some searching and saw that I would need a 1" spacer for the motor mounts (I have a 72 front crossmember on a 62 frame). If I read it right I would need a motor mount kit for a 72 truck and then I just get some 1" spacers, right?

Stock was a 283 v8 and I'm putting in a sbc 350 with a 700r4..

Sorry if I answered my own question, just want to make sure before I go out and buy a motor mount kit.

Correct. We have a 79 crossmember installed in our 61. We needed spacers on the top of the frame rails. (the frame rails on the 60-62 are shorter) I had a local guy down the street cut some 3/4 inch spacers out with a plasma cutter. Hope this helps.

Thank you, now for the mounts that go onto the motor it self. I just say i.e. 79 v8 motor mounts?

I have a 61 and did some searching here in the forums to get my ideas. Really, there were not any surprises. I used the 67-72 motor mounts (got them at a junk yard for 50 bucks I think). Had some half inch aluminum metal which I just cut on my table saw to the right size, double stacked them and then drilled a couple of holes. Pretty easy!

Oh...and before you tighten every thing down, get the motor and the mounts mated up. You can tighten everything on the frame last...

That's pretty nice also.....I do like finished inner fender wells

par4tom, I have those mounts that go on frame already, but I need the part number or something for the mounts that go onto the motor.. I search 78 c10 v8 mounts, but I don't think they look the same.. Probably just me though.

I guess I should search for 67-72 motor mounts for the block?
