Where does the engine go? Or am I short-shafted too?
I bought a 68 Step with a 350/TH350 on a 67 frame. I stripped it all the way down without noticing where the engine mounts were located. I replaced the front cross-member and suspension from an '81. In the build-up, I placed the motor mounts in the only place where the holes lined up and where the drive-shaft fit. Recently one of you commented that I have the engine mounts in the 6 Cylinder (rear) position instead of the 8 Cylinder (front) position.
- Which is which? - There are no holes in the cross-member that line up with the front position, also there seems to be no flat spot in the cross member in the front position. - If I leave it here will the distributor fit? - If I move the engine forward I will have to drill new holes, extend the drive-shaft and extend the exhaust. Are the attached pictures the proper mounts for a 350 into a 68?
