Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
Built some motor mounts and mocked them up. Not a professional job but I made with what I had and a welder and a grinder. I'm not as happy with the driver side it was a little different mounting wise but I think I'm gonna leave it.

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
Got the trans crossmember fitted and welded on some mounts and mocked in place. It came from speedway motors universal 2in drop crossmember very happy with it.

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
engine mounts look fine. curious what your driveline angle is now. angle at pinion should match but be opposite the angle at the trans. that way the vibrations cancel each other.

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
if you needed to by steel for that i suggest square tubing with a decent wall thickness, then cut one side off to open it up. works well.

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
I like the amount of space the 6 cylinder gives for the steering column to rack gives, should be a straight shot.
