73 crossmember in a 69. Motor mounts?
I am putting a 73-up crossmember in my 69 and need to know if I can use the 73-up motor mounts. I am swapping a BB into it. I have 67-71 BB mounts, 72 BB mounts and also the BB mounts for the 73-up crossmember.
I remember something about the later model being too tall. I am limited physically right now(hernia) and want to avoid a bunch of trial fitting. Would like to do it the first time. Thanks, Steve |

Re: 73 crossmember in a 69. Motor mounts?
That is a good question.
Personally, i would try to use the 73 & up ones. The 68 - 71 towers are a dime a dozen, but the mounts are expensive. The 72 towers are worth quite a bit... sell them to the highes bidder on E-bay... the mounts are dirt cheap though. The 73 and up ones I believe are dirt cheap, and the mounts are also. |

Re: 73 crossmember in a 69. Motor mounts?
They looked the same, I just wasn't sure. The 72 sets I have are for my retirement! The two reasons i am using the 73 crossmember is the mounts and suspension parts cost being cheaper, plus I think the oil pan can be dropped easier.
Thanks, Longhorn man, after this one is done i will have a few questions about my 72 bb longhorn. |
