Hey guys, i am button up a 350 swap from inline 6 cyl. I need to ask a big favor. I wanted to see if you could post some pics of the drivers side of the engine and transmission mount. Thanks a lot

I've got that setup in my '68, if you could be a little more specific about what you want a picture of I can get you some pics in a few min.

jsmithbm · 05-20-2010, 11:36 PM

Well I would like to see the tail shaft brace at the rear of the tranny and maybe the length of the drive shaft from weld to weld and a photo of the clutch linkage. I know that's a lot to ask.

1968CHEVYC10 · 05-20-2010, 11:39 PM

no problem I'll see what I can do. be back in a few min!

1968CHEVYC10 · 05-21-2010, 12:20 AM

ok here we go, I'm not sure I understood 100% what you were wanting but here's what I got:

this is the tail shaft of the tranny, I didn't see any brace for this except the brace closer to the clutch

this is a different angle of the crossmember

and here's some shots of the driveshaft

1968CHEVYC10 · 05-21-2010, 12:25 AM

the next few are of the clutch linkage, it was kinda hard to get to so not the clearest.

Mine also came from the factory with the "rear engine" or bellhousing mounts system instead of the tailshaft crossmember common to cars, 4-speeds, later trucks, etc. There should be pairs of holes in the rails that line up where you want them to, I think the Powerglide equipped trucks would use the ones you would want. (anyone who can help on that count?)

For driveshaft length, are you putting this in a shortbed or longbed? Also, if you can wait a day or two I can get a good shot of the plate holding the linkage to the block, it doesn't show as should be informative.

thanks guys, its a short bed step. There are a tone of pre-drilled holes on the frame. i have the original tranny mount still in the truck and a mount on the tail shaft. i like the bell houseing mount that you have in the pics better. i need to find one at the junk yard.
CSGAS i got time! take your time. thanks
