Steve,
I have a Jim Meyers Racing rack on the front of my 49 burb, so the
setup is similar to a Mustang II front end. I have a 350/350 combo installed.
I had to use block hugger headers to get them to clear the steering shaft. I
bought the cheapies from Summit. I tried to use ram's horm headers, but they
were too wide. I also moved the engine 1 inch toward the passenger side to get
clearance for the steering shaft. For the engine mount I used a modified mount
from Chassis Engineering that uses F..d rubber donuts. It was easy to modify
to shift the engine over. For the tranny I used a universal mount I bought
from the Truck Shop at a sway meet many years ago.
Good Luck with the
project.

Subject: [oletrucks] Exhaust question
I have a
51 3100 and am dropping in a 350/700R4. I have a TCI custom IFS that
will be
installed with the brake master cylinder still under the cab
(w/booster). Can
anyone give suggestions as to what headers/exhaust would best
suite this
application? On a brighter note, I have tacked the boxing plates in
place on
the frame. Then it started getting thick in the ol' garage so I
opened up the
doors to clear it up and that 15 degrees came on in. I was doing
alright with
it at 38, so I had to stop, besides the grandgirls showed up for
supper so I
was done for the day anyway.
Come on Springtime!!
