Customs Motor mounts for Chev 250 into S10 frame - know of any?

I need to figure out some motor mounts to put a Chevy 250 onto an S10 frame. Has anyone here done this before? Any suggestions, leads or pics?

 

Not going to be a popular swap, it is swapping an obsolete motor into a late model ch***is. It is also probably going to prove to be way too long for the ch***is, those came with a V6 or a banger.

That said given the engine ch***is and some s**** steel it shouldn't be too hard to come up with some.

 

You'll have to fab some up.Whats the ch***is under?

 

Check Ch***is Engineering Inc. They have Chevy 250 I6 motor mounts that can be adapted to any c channel frame with some fabrication. Using them to put 250 I6 in 1936 Chevy pickup.

 

Thanks Krol! Just what I needed.

Porkn******, duh, just duh. If it was popular or common I wouldn't be asking for info about it because it would already be out there. This forum deals in unpopular and uncommon things.

 

I would think that knowing that you aren't likely to find some would be helpful as all get out. it will save you some time and get you headed for the shop.

 

I would look at what is common between the 6 and a small block. One can put a small block in an S10 and the 250 6 cyl bolted into the same engine bays from 67 on. Maybe look at Stealth Conversions site, they have a book on the v8 conversion. There are a lot of adapters for sale, get the frame plate, then figure out which stock rubber motor mount will work.

 

Where the problem lies is that the 6 like the big block chebby is longer from the motor mounts forward. I was going to suggest that transdapt makes small block mounts for the S10 but that will not cure the limited space problem between the mounts and the core support.

 

Your absolutely right about that, but I was ***uming the frame was under something else that an S10 body, since it is way past the HAMB cut-off.

 

Nothing ***y about an S10 cab. It's a late 30's chevy fat-fender custom so I'm not worried about the motor length.

Nothing ***y about an S10 frame either but that's going to be covered by glorious curvy fenders anyway so that doesn't matter to me

 

There is more to it then core support. But you should be able to work it out easy enough. No hill for a stepper.

 

Made my own when I built my 50 Chevy truck. Notched the stock mounts and welded a piece of pipe to the mount, drove control arm bushings into the pipe ends. Then welded 1/4" plate uprights to the S10 frame and put a bolt through it. You can barely see the mount in the bottom of the attached picture.
