This is probably on of those topics covered a zillion times, that I never paid attention to because it didn't have anything to do with my build. I did go thru the FAQ stick, couldn't find anything. A '57 forum member is helping a friend install a 460 in a '56 fairlane g***er. They would like to use bolt on motor mounts to the original oem crossmember. Is there such an animal? and if so, who/where? Thanks
A friend used a modified Lincoln mounts. I thought Fox Mustang mounts would work since Fox SBF mounts work.
I have a set I bought from Crites, I just today decided I'm going to put a sbf in it I'll sell them 127$ unused
The fox 1984-93 mounts will also work for the 400M http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/engine/hrdp-0702-ford-400m-engine-build/ or https://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2008/06/400MockUp/
I p***ed a link to this thread to the '57forum member, but you may want to pm me your contact info. I'll p*** it on to them in a pm also. Just to verify, yours are for a 460 in a '56 and are bolt on? For my own curiosity, Jeff...the 400M articles you posted a link to...the 400m is same block as 460?
No it is 100% like the 429-460 It is similar to the Cleveland and can even use Cleveland heads.But it does according to the Hot Rod link share bell housings and transmissions with the 429-460.
Speedway has added to the line of swap mounts available http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Search?query=Ford+motor+mounts Notice they have both the 429-460 mounts and the 400M also.
