Someone out there must have faced this problem. I purchased a project 52 half ton in pieces. The engine (216)is mounted to a 58 powerglide, no drive shaft, and a 69 Camaro rear end. The engine has a mount under the front and the transmission has a mount under the back. What mounts will work on the sides? There was a small bracket attached to the bell housing on each side but it is not big enough to reach the frame.

if it is s cst iron p/g which 58 wre it should have provision in the bellhousing area for the rear mounts and would mount typically as your orig rear mount, but will not be the same.3 point mounting

You really need some BEEFY side mounts and that 216 will not have holes for side mounts. A later 235 would be a better engine choice as they would have a place on the side to attach the side mounts plus a bit more needed power to spin the automatic trans..


It's easier to get forgiveness than permission!

if it has the bell house mounting it should be quite adequate
