Hit a snag today. I had ordered rear engine mounts back in December anticipating this. I ordered ME217 from Jim carter. It said to use ME218 for a 48 to 53 truck and I was using a 48-53 bellhousing but I figured the 217 one would be correct since my frame is a 39. I was wrong, I think. Long story short, the rear engine mounts are too wide to fit in my crossmember. Its sitting about 1/2" where its hitting on the 45 degree bits. I called Jim and ordered the 218 motor mounts so well see.
Another problem that's coming down the pipe is that the SM420 is basically touching the rear engine crossmember and I cant get the front engine mount bolts to come forward enough to seat in their home. Once I get these other rear engine mounts, well see what needs to be done.
