Re: motor mounts
johnny, I think you'll find that 4-6 degrees down bubble will be excessive because you'll have to mount the pinion up-bubble at roughly the same angle as the motor is down-bubble. When I do an engine swap, I position the carb pad of the intake manifold level after leveling the car/truck. This usually works out to about 2 1/2 to 3 degrees down-bubble on the motor, so I position the pinion at the same angle up-bubble so that I don't have u-joint issues.Originally posted by johnny knuckles
you might consider a saddle type mount. Speedway Motors makes frame mounts that are specific to 35-40' fords Part# 135-3312, then you will need a sbc saddle part# 135-6023 and a cushion kit #720-9314
You will still be required to pre-fit the engine to know where to place the mounts. Make sure that your motor has about a 4-6deg angle (nose up) when fitting it in the frame.... Makes the oil drain back toward the pump.
If you don't want to use the saddle mounts you can use something like #916-18002 and move the frame mounts back a bit farther. Moroso also makes mounts similar to these except out of steel and they are less beefy and cheaper. about $20 available through jegs.
