Those real early V-8 motors are front mount instead of side mount. If you are thinking you'll use one of the common V-8 type side mount crossmembers its not going to work.

If you swap the bellhousing crossmember for one from a '54 or '55 1st that early V-8 truck type bellhousing will easily bolt up. Otherwise you are going to need to adapt the bellhousing to a crossmember designed for a different type of mounting.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
