I searched a bit on this topic, but did not find what I needed. Hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction.
The truck is a 1955 2nd series 1/2T Napco 4x4. I current have a small block 400 chevy V8 in it, but about 6 months ago it blew a head gasket. Inspection found that the thin wall between cylinders 4 and 6 are eroded at the deck, meaning a complete tear down and decking to repair. For a long time I've actually been wanting to pull the V8 and install a Gen 3 inline 6, so a fortunate opportunity? LOL!
I found and bought a 292 six core engine, which is at the shop right now for the machine work to rebuild. My question is this: Does anyone sell a motor mount kit to install one of these Gen 3 six engines using the same "post and biscuit" type mounts as used on the front of the V8? I indeed bought one of the tubular V8 cross member mounts, but the problem is the 4x4 differential. Not enough clearance between the tubular mount and the center carrier section of the front axle.
If push comes to shove, I'll try to fab up something to use the same post/biscuit mounts as the V8, but was hoping someone already solved this problem and has a mount kit available.
