I spent a little time on the Ford today, tacked a couple pieces together. Now to get my brain running , maybe break a piece of 1/4 in. plate for...
On my Studebaker I started out with a crossmember from a 97 Suburban. So this time I thought I would start out with a fresh idea. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Right now I am planning on putting flat stock on the ends and bolting it through the side of the frame. The crossmember needs to come straight...
A crossmember in the works , maybe ?[ATTACH]
Looks like it would be for a dragster or a boat ? with no allowance for a crossmember.
That's what I was thinking !
I was able to hang mine down low using a homemade bracket on the head.[ATTACH]
I got the motor mounts finished other than the final weld them solid ! You can see the whole set up here , with the round piece going up in the X...
Thanks !
Won't those dual sump pans put the motor forward and make the truck nose heavy ? plus will those pans hang down below the crossmember ?

They have a terrible reputation if you haven't heard.
Good stuff Gimpy, thanks for taking the time to post it.
Keep it simple, that is from a long time ago ! hope it helps.
On Chrysler stuff we used to use a straight piece of tubing and let it come through the floor and tie it into the rear torque box and the front...
I believe this is what we will go with. I stepped it up to a bigger piece of tubing ( with one side removed ) and you can use a wrench to remove...
Putting some steel in place of an idea, or building some motor mounts ![ATTACH]
Thats Bullshit !
I set the support with the radiator in place, next will be to build some motor mounts. [ATTACH]
Looks good !
It is my favorite spot to spend the day.
Thanks Ronn, I have been enjoying it but after my last heart event , well we will see where it goes.
