Basically, you're adding a new 'cross member for the engine'. Can't recall the places that sold it. Usually 'hot rodding magazines', maybe Trukin' and other mags like that. Doesn't hurt to stand at the magazine stands to flip through the ads.

If the flange uder it doesnt have 2 holes allready drilled in it, you can add them and use the '53 type mount. Use the truck bellhousing with the side mounts. Tranny will not need to be supported. If the engine is 55 or newer, you will also need to either shorten the water pump shaft or move radiator forward. | | |
