Dean

you were saying you used a newer x-member on your 68 frame right? well did you use the newer ( 73-87 ) style motor mounts or did you use 67-72 v8 motor mounts? will my 85 motor mounts and tranny xmember work on the 71 frame? thanks for the help...Derek

I think they would you will have to drill the holes in the frame for the 85 mounts that s about it I would use the 85 motor mounts and use the 85 front crossmember. I guess you will see when you get the frame back. Sorry about your loss.. I will be praying for you . I guess I am a step ahead of you. Do you have a welder ? I cut my frame it was pretty easy. Later Dude !

72MARIO · 02-10-2003, 11:37 PM

A bush cord of firewood 200 seemes worth it to me Make sure he does a dimond plate over the lap joint. Good Luck Mario

67cst · 02-11-2003, 12:15 AM

I couldn't get the later style mounts to work out right without spacing them off the top of the frame with washers. I ended up using the original style v8 mounts.
