@Eyedea818 - Man, I made mine as a crossmember type thing, just a few pieces of 1" x 2" rectangle tube that attaches to the top of the frame rails, goes down at a 45 degree angle on both sides to match the countour of the block, with some risers about two inches tall with a tube attached on each side for the motor mount bolt to go through.
if you can rig up something similar to the stock bellhousing mounts, you could use the stock holes on the front of ANY sbc to mount it like a 57 chevy. easy.
@Eyedea818 - you're welcome! I wanna see more tri-5 Pontiacs on the road.
The only thing to look for, finding either headers or exhaust manifolds that fit is a chore, the steering column is further foward on the Pontiacs than on the chevy, the rams' horn from vettes flow good but will NOT fit. I got disgusted and just found some shorty headers and modified them to exit out the fenderwells...probably not the best choice, but it works.
@hawtwired me and you both man. something about tri 5 pnchos just offends people. whats the point of calling it kustom if no kustomizing is involved right?
where can i get motor mounts to drop a 350 in a 56 star chief 4dr sedan? ive been looking like crazy and no luck.
