    has anybody done this and have picks. or know where i can buy a motor mount kit?
     
  2. Seems to me there's a Mopar engine that would do just fine. Let folks that are doin a Studebaker or Willys or ? use the sbc.

    tom thanks for your input. I already have a sbc and a 400 ****** and a 10 bolt rear-end so I’ll stick with that thinks. If anybody has any real input I would appreciate it.

    Buy the frame adapter that fits your frame. then the engine mount that's for your motor. put it all together with the cushion set. they also have some great ****** mounts, too.

    hope this helps.

    You WILL have problems between the drivers side exhaust manifold and stock steering box.

    You will have to make custom headers or convert it to rack and pinion.

    I did a 54 Plym....was a big learning experience.

    Ply-Do has the stuff you're looking for, although I think they may just sell the ch***is engineering stuff.

    You'll have the same problem with a 289 and u'll have to cut out the hump for the c4. I almost went that route but then found some cool **** for the plymouth and the money to rebuild the 6.
    good luck.
     
  10. Butch's Rod Shop used to kinda specialize in the Mopar stuff, some of it was really for Mopars, alot of it was universal. Alot of Butch's stuff was Ch***is Engineering, PlyDo, or Fatman's. The 350/400TH will fit in your stock suspension/steering ch***is just fine. Offset the engine to the p***. side an inch. Get Tex Smith's book "How to Build Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge Hot Rods"
    It shows putting in a small block Mopar, damn close to the same procedures.
