I need some V-8 engine towers... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Putter · 02-08-2005, 10:20 AM

Well, it finally happened. I bought almost every part that I need to convert my inline/manual to a V-8/automatic. (And I have used 100% board-member parts so far). I figured when the weather turned nice again, I would get busy swapping it over......Obviously, my truck has other plans.

The throw-out bearing has left the building, forcing me to park it. (And I don't want to replace it only to pull it all out in a few weeks.)

So I am using loaner-car from...who else????.....a BOARD MEMBER.....(board members are the best!!)

Anyway, the long & short of it is, my truck is forcing me to start the swap early and I need a set of V-8 engine towers (or stands, as I have also heard them called) for the forward position. As someone will surely suggest I just use the inline position, I want to move it forward because I have already purchased the correct drive shaft, etc....for the forward position.

Someone please help...

I need a pair of V-8 (forward position) engine towers as quick as I can get them.

Thanks in advance.....

Thank You to everyone that replied. I have obtained a set from a board member, which keeps my parts at 100% board-supplied.

Thanks for the offer Erick. I got a member to overnight me the pair so I can get back on the road. I have the lights installed, and will have the crossmember installed the first day we don't have rain. (Gotta remove the manual X-member first...PITA).
