    I have a couple of questions.
    Number one
    Is there a better early (1957) SBC to early 39’ Ford transmission adapter? Or are they mostly the same?

    Number two
    Is there a better front motor mount system for an early SBC motor in a Model A frame?

    Lastly
    Is there a better center x member to use for the above setup? Closed drive shaft.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ken

    The short answer is "it's all been done", you will get a range of opinions, in the end you will still need to choose one, skill level is also a deciding factor.

    Number One; From what I've seen most of the Chevy to 39 Trans adapters are pretty much the same. i have a Cragar and my buddy has an Offy. They look identical.
    Number Three: My buddy bought boxing plates and a center crossmember from Dagels Street Rods. He's running a closed driveline.
