This weekend I am mocking up the motor and trans finally between the frame. Unfortunately I did not take measurements before removed the cab and front clip so I was hoping someone could help.

I am putting a 292 in my '49. It originally had a 216 in it (front mounted motor) and since I am putting a 292 in it, it will be a fresh start with mounting location. I know I have to move the radiator forward 1", but right now I do not know where the mounting location are for each of the mounts.

So what I am asking is if someone has a 292 in an AD truck, could you let me know what your mounting points are? Front cab mount to engine mounting point would be ideal for both sides.

Thank you.
