Re: 56 Chevy (RIP)
i used Paul Hortons LS motor mounts and his transmission mount kits as well.
the rack shaft passes below the mount and outside of where the headers are so hookup will be easy. Last edited by Rickysnickers; Today at 10:28 AM. |

Re: 56 Chevy (RIP)
Thanks man, that's helping to fill in the missing pieces. Working on installing new control arm bushings and ball joints. A press makes it pretty easy job with minimal swearing.

Re: 56 Chevy (RIP)
Curious if the frame end of that engine mount has, or will have, support or a vertical brace.

Re: 56 Chevy (RIP)
you cant see it here but yes there is a vertical stiffener/brace that runs from the bushing to the boxing plate on the inside of the frame rail. i am very cautious about strength in parts. When i cut the C notches for the rack i didnt like the way the frame looked, thought it may be a weak spot to support the front sheetmetal. So i put braces across the notches.
