The LMC catalog only shows the small block mounts for a 54-59 and nobody their knows what they are talking about!!!! will they work or does anyone have a suggestion...... | | | | | | ZooKeeper Unregistered | | ZooKeeper Unregistered | I've used something like THIS & they are cheap to buy..Joe | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | American Classic has the same thing, all the vendors do, it's a universal crossmember that the side mount bolts to, only way to put a V8 in an earlier truck, any year Bill | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Jacks1952: you may want to look at my photobucket pics to see how I put my engine in. I didn't want to use the crossmember.
I got mine from JimCarter during a trip up there and with stovebolt discount and no shipping I did alright on them!
The chassis mounts are actually from Chassis Engineering.
Just another option to explore. When I bought mine a year ago they were $85 but not sure now. Most stuff has went up! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 | i got mine from chassis engineering also.not the cheapest way but a bolt in no brainer with good directions.they also have a bolt in trans mount that uses the original bolt holes.dont get much simpler than that.....................dave

If you measure and put the side mounts "dead on" the rear cross member will be "dead on".
I also used there rear cross member and it bolts right in the same place as the old one. No adjustable ends to mess with!
It makes a "tidy" set up. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 13 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 13 | | | | | | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 355 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 355 | i just ordered and recieved today mounts for my 39 the kit was a univeral one "not a crossmember type" but its a trim to fit bolt in one the whole thing only ran me 60.00 got it from a companty named Chassis Engineering Inc. very happy with the looks of it and the installation "still have that to go but looks fairly easy and your bay isn't cluttered with crossmenbers you don't need here is their site link / www.chassisengineeringinc.com

At that time they were $85 minus my Stovebolt discount at JCarters. The rear crossmember I traded out with a fellow bolter but I see them in several places from $49 to $69. Shop around! | | |
