Thanks Todd! I finally got the mounts to work. However now I need to relocate the transmission crossmember and unfortunately trying to figure out...
Good move! Please let me know how they work out for you. I'm trying to put some in my 56 Merc. I swapped a 312 for a 352 and don't have it in...
Did you order or try these yet?
That does sound like a pretty solid guarantee. That is of course as long as I can follow the directions! Attempting to rebuild my carb tomorrow...
Thank you Bones! Alright so this might be a dumb question but if it's leaking from that intersection point do you think its likely the pan/gasket....
Is this the common joint leak you're speaking about? I can't figure out where its coming from but oil beads up right at that T intersection.
Perfect, thank ya sir!
Right on, Old wolf. Thank you much. Looks like Sunbeam caught the same thing. The link he sent has a very similar mount to what you just posted....
Those photos are great and super helpful, I really appreciate them. Yeah if you can do the mounts that would be great. Here's what I'm running...
haha those mounts do look like they would do the trick. I mocked up some wood blocks last night and think that I can shim the engine up to the...
Oh gotcha. I found some metal shavings and other small things. It was enough for me to inspect and I'm glad I did.
I don't follow?
Hey fella's, so I tried the new mounts that I ordered today. They bolted up to the block in 2 spots just as some of you have suggested. When I...
That sounds killer Old Wolf. I've always dreamed of owning a wagon. I cant wait to see some process photos!
I should have checked back here before running to the parts store. I was able to track down the original part number for the flex plate which I...
Don, am I following you correct on this. Order a new starter but replace the gear on the starter out with this tractor part to adapt to the old...
In your experience would it be best to replace the starter and the flex plate at the same time if they both need it? Easier to update to modern specs?
Hahah I don't think I'd be able to sleep at night.
Unfortunately not yet man. The mounts I had didn't line up and left me about an inch floating above my cross member mounts because my oil pan...
Not yet man, I wish. I ordered what I believe are the correct original mounts and they'll be here on Wednesday. Fingers crossed that will line up...
I appreciate the comment Todd!! This sounds exactly in line with what I’ve heard from others and what I saw after the first attempt. I have some...
Hey ya'll! Very happy to be a part of this social group. I was fortunate enough to pick up a beautiful 1956 Mercury Medalist last spring. It was...
DUDE! Absolutely love it!! What is that bumper from?!
Ahh, that would make more sense! I would imagine the 56 mounts are much thicker to compensate for the smaller 312 block?
Does this look right? First photo is how they came on this 352, 2nd photo is them rotated 180. Did a dry run to see if they would line up and my...
I'm finally getting around to this! So, are you suggesting using the pre-65 2 bolt mounts? Because I believe the ones I have been looking at are...
Do you still have your 56?
You're already ahead of me! That was going to be my next question. Not ever hearing this engine run, I'm trusting the random dude off Craigslist...
That just seems too good to be true! I really hope that's the case, I'll probably find out this weekend. Did you do a similar swap on something...
