Re: 292 motor mounts used in swap!
There are a few people making the conversion mounts. Generally, you'll need to go with an electric fuel pump since the adapter plate covers the mechanical fuel pump location.

Re: 292 motor mounts used in swap!
Don't know the right or wrong of it but I used a driver side motor mount and three 1" spacers. The spacers were made out of 3/8" galvanized pipe placed between the block and the motor mount. Poor mans fix and everything is straight and level. The benefit is being able to use the mechanical fuel pump.

Re: 292 motor mounts used in swap!
I stand corrected. The bottom two bolts are the ones with the 1" spacer. I do have photos takes today. All I need to do is find a way to add photos.

Re: 292 motor mounts used in swap!

Re: 292 motor mounts used in swap!
When I was doing my search it seamed like nobody had them or they wanted an are and a leg for them. Since I am not doing a correct restoration I made do. As far as Mickey is concerned what I did was structurally sound.

Re: 292 motor mounts used in swap!
If The Captain can't help you, I have one I will sell for $40.00 plus whatever for shipping. I assume this is for a 2wd? Mine came out of a 66.

Re: 292 motor mounts used in swap!
I will have to look and see if I do still have any. Do you need just the passenger side?
