Re: question on 61 motor swap

Drill your holes in the spacers first. Bolt the mounts to the block with the stands but don't tighten all the way just yet.

Lower the block down and put a bolt through the bottom hole in the crossmember first. Then, slide the spacer plates on the top of the frame under the mount and lower the motor down all the way.

Mark your holes on the frame rails and if you can drill in place then do that but if you can't you'll need to mark the holes for the frame and lift the engine up and out again, drill your two holes then try to line everything up as you lower the motor down.

Took me two or three tries...very frustrating.
