Hello, this is my first ever build. I am doing it all from scratch. I have almost finished the motor, a 68 383 with 727 ******. Firstly can anyone give me a idea on motor mounts, or even how to proceed with designing same. I mocked the basic motor from cardboard pieces and set it in the frame cradle but I am stuck on where to go from here? Can anyone kick start me on my next step or even better someone with experience on this swap tell me what I need. As well I need gears for my 742 8+3/4 rear axle if anyone near British Columbia Canada has any, as well as a limited slip. Thanks, hope someone can help.
Get a set of 383 motor mounts bolt them to the motor ... set the motor in the car ... use a pipe the through bolt fits in tight ... use a 2 inch piece of flat metal to welde to the pipe and then to the frame ...
If you have any problem with this progect I will help you all I can ... Make sure you get the motor where you want it ... Ive seen alot of motors setting in to hi to low to far to the front to far to the back ... Take youre time and do it right the first time ...
