Thank you for the suggestions. Mike ordered the mounts today. He went with the 3/4 inch forward. The TCI cross member sounds good but I am having trouble finding it tonight. Mike likes that idea. I will have more time to search in the next couple of days.

We talked to some one who had done the conversion in the past. He said that you did not need to worry about the pan tie rod clearance if you cut a large diamond shaped piece out of the firewall. Mike's body is fairly pristine and he nearly cringed at the thought of that. I talked with a fellow named Ernie at Danchucks this morning he was knowledgeable and helpful. He recommended the forward mounts too.

Delray, thank you for mentioning the radiator position. To my memory, in the cold weather when I was in high school the guys with shoebox Chevy V8s could put beverages in the area between the grill and the radiator and chill them while they were driving. That area looked like it was made for that. The 6 cylinders did not have as nice a space since the radiator was moved forward. .

Dotgone, your '57 in the gallery is beautiful. The John Deere (B?) in the back ground was interesting
