Thread: 1956 Chevy Engine Swap

Bob,

Thanks for the tip on the second set of holes. That stands to reason since the block is shorter. I think I'm gonna use the stock tri-five front mounts, find a tri-five V8 Bell housing for the Muncie, and just use the stock tri-five rear mounts.

When I started the thread, I was unaware that the 283 had the capability of mounting up front on the stock mounts. So, I was prepared to buy the side motor mount kit, the rear transmission crossmember kit, etc. but could forsee problems getting all of that in and lined up with the clutch linkage and all of that.


Thanks to you all, I know I can run the stock radiator, the stock mounts, stock clutch linkeage, all I really need at this point is a stock bell housing for the stock rear mounts, and to possibly modify the drive shaft.

This is getting exciting!

Thanks so much for all of the great input!
