Re: Need help with my 61

Here are my pics....again this is a SBC into a 61 Apache I did this past weekend.

You can barely see the 2 half-inch steel spacers I had to fabricate to sit on top of the frame. The big block should work just as easily as you can see there is a bit of room to work with here.

I used the 67-72 motor stanchions (perches) from a wrecking yard ($50). They worked good and I got the motor mounts themselves at Rockauto.com for about $20 including shipping.

Just be sure to mock everything up, do NOT tighten the bolts down (ask me how I know) until you get all the holes to line up on the motor mount, the cross member and the frame.

Piece of cake!!!
