I can't find anyone who makes the motor mounts to change over from a 235 to a Small block Chevy for a 1960 C10. Anyone have ideas where I can get them?
Thanks a bunch.

You can use the 63 thru 66 frame mounts you will need to drill 6 holes three for each side. The v8 bell will bolt up to your rear mounts. I have did this swap myself. OldWolf

Having just done that swap my self there two different sizes and one is exactly 7/8 longer than the ones OldWolf uses so be careful when buying them. They could be used but you would need a spacer block for them to work. I did not like the look of the block on top of the frame. They were marked to fit 63 Chevy at the wrecking yard. Being I put a HEI Dist in I also moved the mounts forward 1 1/2" to clear my HEI from the firewall and you will still have plenty of room to mount your fan or electric fan and the 4 core radatior.

OldWolf doesent the 63 have the X frame with the Torsion Bars? I thought the 64 thru 66 had the straight frame but I may be wrong here.
