    Friends! I have a problem! I removed the pillow mount the engine. They are in bad condition, there is a crack. The previous owner used the mount from Chevy 54, straightened them, drilled a lot of unnecessary holes. The problem here is this. I installed the engine block of a truck in 1962 edition. Engine block 235. I think mount engine mount, not such as to Chevrolet in 1954. I have shown in the photo. Who knows what can be put on this engine block? That is suitable for fastening the frame? Who encountered this problem? :confused:

    Here's the mounts I made for my 54 235 Chevy that I'm putting in a 48 GMC pickup. I'm using a 2004r trans with a adapter plate from Langdons Stovebolt Engine Co. so I lose the mounts at the bell housing. I made side mounts using a universal SBC kit and some square tubing. I also made them bolt in so if I or the next owner decided to put in a V8 they could be easy to remove. Hope this helps. Mel:D

    Thank you Mel! Tell me, what with the transmission dynamics of the motion by 216?

    Sounds like there's a online translator in this conversation. I'd bet he's asking about the adapter plate on your transmission.

    ...or... possibly about the lack of mounts at the bell housing. :)

    Yes. This error interpreter. I'm asking you is an automatic gearbox and the engine 216, I see in the picture. Engine speed is enough for a good ride with this transmission? I think in the future to replace the motor 235 on V8.

    There's a guy who makes adapted mounts. I will do some looking and see if I can find some more info. You send him your stock mounts as cores.

    "Tell me, what with the transmission dynamics of the motion by 216?"

    Yes- that makes sense now.

    This is a pretty popular swap. Most common, the gear ratios are:

    FIRST GEAR 3.06:1
    SECOND GEAR 1.63:1
    THIRD GEAR 1:1
    FOURTH GEAR 0.70:1

    That 4th gear will let him run a taller rear end for faster starting, and still provide some decent fuel economy on the highway.

    The powerglide 2 speed transmission that came with these cars originally would have had ratios very similar to second and third gear on the 700R4, so it's like having a really low "low" gear and a great overdrive 4th gear as well.
