I`m am planning to install a 292 th400/3.08 rearend combo in my 59 chevy panel. Looking for someone who can advise of a good way to mount the 292 with the staggered motor mounts. Can I use a aftermarket V8 crossmember motor mount and make some kind of plate to adapt the other side. I know this will block off the fuel pump area but I figure I could use an electric fuel pump if needed. Will there be any clearance problems with the 292? If you have done this swap please advise. Thanks

I did a 292 in a 55 2nd with v8 aftermarket I lined up the right side with mount where it is supposed to be and used a piece of 1/4" plate and drilled holes for the drivers side. I ran this setup for 8 years and had no trouble with it.

Thanks 66/292 did you have to run a electric fuel pump or will the stock fuel pump work with the plate set up?
