Re: Front Crossmember swap

No, the 58 front crossmember is much wider than the AD crossmember.

The normal way to do that swap is to use the early front plate that the motor mount bolts to on the later engine and use the early mount. but you have to remove the timing gear to do that.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
