does any body make motor mts to put 59a block in 34 ford. sounds easy but crossmember pads are somewhat narrower than mts on water pumps. Front of engine needs to be jacked up also by about 2 1/4 inches or so to allow for pulley clearance and belt installation. Thought some one out there might have hot setup. thanks, rob drew
Ford sold C-shaped adaptors that raised engine...bottom of C bolted to '34 biscuits, top had a stud offset to bolt to '37-48 mounts. Put a straight rod through crank guide in grill and on top of crossmember...jack up engine til that aligns with center of crankshaft. Correct destination... Add a short piece of square tubing, bottom drilled to bolt to motor mount through bolts, top drilled to bolt to mount hole in your pumps. Shim til perfect with weight on it.
Here's a picture of the adapters used to install the 24 stud engines in an early chassis. See the blue u-shaped pieces. Stock motor mounts and a U-shaped piece the raises and off sets the mounting location from Bob Drake. page 106 part # 41A-6023 http://www.bobdrake.com/CAT25/cat25_pdfs/7-engine.pdf <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
