49 pontiac cheiftan

i am working on a 1949 pontiac cheiftan and trying to swap the inline 8 for a small block chevy and not sure what to do about the motor mounts any info would be very helpful

 

Hey Man what were you thinking of doing with that motor?
Maybe we can work out a deal

 

not a whole lot
what were you thinking

 

Did you make any prgress on the engine swap? I have a 49 silver streak and wanted to swap out the Straight 8 for either a 454 BBC or a 250 inline 6, yeah I know one extreme to the other but I want something to burn the tires off or just cruise. I was trying to find a weld in crossmember unit maybe and start from there but not sure yet. Last time I asked about what direction I should take in dropping the hopped up inline 6 with dual carbs everyone said "why not just drop a SBC in it?" I dont want to be the same as everyone I like to be different. Hopefully next winter I will have a large boat anchor saying pontiac on it
