I'm working on a 1960 GMC, I just hung a cross member from and 81 Chevy truck and want to use the motor mounts that bolt to the cross member. Do I need to add a spacer to the bottom of the mounts to get the angle right or do I need to modify the mounts so thet don't hit the top side of the frame? Thanks for any insite that you have.

Re: Motor mount help needed
Here's a link that shows how I did the motor mounts on my 1960 GMC. If you're keeping the bellhousing mounts the tail shaft crossmember won't apply.

Re: Motor mount help needed
Here's what I did. Cut back the frame roughly 1/2'' so the bolt holes lined up; still needed a little clearancing. I then drilled new mount holes down low on the crossmember about 1/2'' lower than the stock holes and bolted them in place. Check out some pics......it changes the angle slightly but it wasn't difficult to set the engine in place; the usual pushing and

Re: Motor mount help needed
The frame brackets from a C20 are a little shorter than the ones from a C10. But since yours is a '60 they will still be a little taller than the frame.

Re: Motor mount help needed
I have a 61 with an 81 xmember and ran into the same issues. I ended up using c20 mounts, notching the frame rails slightly, and half inch steel spacers. Everything went in really smoothly once i did that. I will try to get pics later if you would like them.
