Engine mount question?
New to the forum here and this is my first post. Bought a 67 with a 350 crate motor. It used to be a 6 cyl. A friend had told me that the 6 cyl was mounted in a different spot than the v8's alittle bit more toward the front. He said the motor sits about 2 or 3 inches to far forward will, this effect anything or is this even true. Any info will help.

Re: Engine mount question?
it is true, there is a v6 mounting location. I have seen a V8 mounted in the v6 location, but typically they use electric fans due to space limitations. Have any pics....

Re: Engine mount question?
Welcome to the 67-72 Chevy Truck Board from West Michigan!
The 6 cylinder mounts in the rear set of holes in the frame so that the V-8 will actually be closer to the firewall when using the 6 cylinder mounts. Jim

Re: Engine mount question?
My main reason for asking is that my long tubes are rubbing on the frame and the a arms if i move it back and replace drive shaft it should clear. Just wanted to see if yall had incountered something like that or not. So is the 6cyl the front or back holes in the frame? thanks

Re: Engine mount question?
The six cylinder is mounted in the frame holes closest to fire wall and the v8 was mounted in the holes closest to the radiator core support.

Re: Engine mount question?
another reason for moving the v8 to the foward holes is that if you run an hei ignition the cap sits very close to the firewall and cracking the cap is a good possibility. even in the foward location you could run a stock cooling fan and clutch assy. but I definatly recoimmend an electric fan set up
