What the €¥#%

[pimpston65]

so mocking up my 292, i had to remove the passenger side frame mount cuz this beast came with a 250. no problem there, my issues is now that its moved only the drivers side fits perfect. the passenger side seems like the mount in too far out about 2". i have a plan to make it fit by cutting the back of the mount 2" and while keeping enough material to make the wings that mount to to frame. any ideas that have worked is NEEDED!!!

[pimpston65]

driver side all bolted up...

[pimpston65]

sitting purrty, just need the other side to bolt up!!!

[pimpston65]

this is with the engine sitting how it should, no tension on the hoist chain!!!

naw, the engine mounts are golden, i have the spacers. it all lines up with me moving the frame side mount, its just too far out!!! i gonna make a cardboard template of the original frame side mount minus 2" if it works i will cut up the mount!!!

[pimpston65]

here's a rough idea, ima make the exact piece outta cardboard to make sure!!!

Doesn't the 292 use a special mount/bracket the 250 doesn't use? I believe it does.

The frame bracket that you removed , did you just move it to the new location ? Or did you find a 4x4 292 frame bracket for the pass side ?

i did move the frame side mount, i also have the 292 mounts also. is there a different 4x4 292 passenger mount?

That's what I'm getting at . The one riveted to the frame on the passenger side is 4x4 292 only and in a different location as you already know.

so i do need to cut it down to make it work?

[pimpston65]

heres a pic looking down, you can see the frame side mount lines up. its just too close to the engine!!!

pic 4 shows the passenger side, its like its too for out and won't allow the block to move down any further. thats why i want to modify the frame side bracket to pull it back 2"...

If you need a picture or measurement my 4x4 panel is easy to get at

awesome, if you could measure from the part of the frame bracket that touch the frame out to the edge where it meets the rubber mount if the measures the same then somethings wrong on my setup. if yours is shorter then i need to cut mine...

[60-66]

heres the part numbers for just the riveted frame mount .

[pimpston65]

Actually , two rights one for 292 and one for 230-250 and V8 . The third is drivers side all. Heres what I took today if it helps at all. Might want to just try and locate one, with your picking skills it should be easy .






3 9/16 to bottom lip. If the engine were out I could get better measurements . Might contact padreseg , he had one for Aerotruk .

[pimpston65]

thats makes all the sense in the world, so i asked the right person!!! my bracket was meant for a 250 and wont fit a 292 unless it came with it!!! thks i will modify mine...

[pimpston65]

the notch is at about 3-1/4" and your mark is about 5-1/4" so my estimate was right to take out 2"...

Run a level across the frame rails , then level the engine off the carb flange to get your location right before welding , just a thought
