Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines 250 Engine Mounts

Can some one show me how I should fabricated motor mounts. I have a 250 that needs to be mounted in a 32 chevy chassis.

buy a engine mount kit for a smallblock chevy. then find some 63-72? chevy pickup engine mounts from a 230-250. they will accept stock v8 rubber motor mounts. the 3 bolt type. do a search and you will find pic's. tom

If you want to use the Ford Biscut (cushion?) mounts I would reccomend the Chassis Engineering Inc mounts (actually a different company than Chassis Engineering). They are rubber over steel so they don't move much, but will damp engine vibration. We fabbed brackets for our Anglia out of 1/4" plate (cause we had it). If we had to buy the metal it would have been 3/16" or 1/8". I don't have a picture right now, but just make sure you gusset it fully. The only piece that needs to be a specific thickness for these is the piece the tin plate part of the mount goes through. It needs to reach through fully (as close as possible) without sticking through the other side.

It's the shiny piece next to the bolt on the left between the upper and lower biscut.

Is this something I could do oor does it not make sense to.

this is the chassis i am dealing with (not the actual)
it has some sort of cross brace

I am thinking of boxing the frame rails.

I am keeping the original front axle.

I know vw inside out but this build is new to me

have no idea of how the engine mounts look or mount.
