Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 2,168 | i have a m2 setup in my 50 1/2, and i was wondering if anyone out there had made there own mounts for the engine. i think i am going to rebuild a 350 out of an 83. would it be good to use the 83 mounts, fabricate some myself, how far back, and how high on the frame rails? any help greatly appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 438 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 438 | Fox-
Had a similar dilemma with the Nova front clip in my '51. Ultimately, it was easier to use matching Nova mounts for my chevy small block and use the existing holes. I would suggest using Chevy mounts that fit the 350 (perhaps from your '83) and try to place them by mocking up the drivetrain. You'll need to check the distance between the firewall (HEI clearance can be tricky) and radiator (fan clearance may depend on long or short water pumps).
Others may have better measurements handy. My frame just went into winter storage and I can't give you good numbers. :rolleyes: | | | | | Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 9 Member | | Member Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 9 | I was just checking out Chassis engineering and they have pretty much every thing you need I believe.
