Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 94 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 94 | I HAVE searched the old posts and I am having a hard time answering this question.
I need to know what motor mounts (perches) I need on the PASSENGER side of my truck. Seems my 62 apache has a 292 motor in it and the passenger side mount does not want to line up at all. I know someone on here knows the answer, just need a little help.
Also, where can I find said mount that I need?
I believe the chassis to be a two wheel drive, 1966 chassis. The cab is a 62. I need to bolt this motor down properly, I have it running and I want to make it safe.
thanks

you have a PM
