New guy here. I am installing a 1954 235 into a 1946 half ton frame. My question is does the rear motor mounts support the bellhouesing up off the rear engine crossmember or does the bellhouseing / crossmember have metal to metal contact. I have ordered several sets of mounts from J. Carter but as I mentioned, I'm a new guy. What grade bolts should be used for the vertical / horizontal connections. Stumped. Great forum.

Hy Metricnut, the rear engine mounts are bolted to the bellhousing and then a vertical bolt secures them to the crossmember, as for the bolt grade, grade 5 should be sufficient, hope that helps.

Thank you. Im trying to ensure I have the correct rear motor mounts. When installed on the bellhouseing the bell h. rides about half an inch above the cross member. Seems light a lot of weight to support. Is this correct?
