I put a 460/v6 in my 55,and I used the NoLimit offset trans mount bar
as I have the volare front clip with the honkin big steering box.
TRANSMISSION CROSSMEMBER VOLARE OFFSET-No Limit Engineering
I m also using the same but non-offset bar on my 56 with the chevy engine/trans.
TRANSMISSION CROSSMEMBER CENTERED-No Limit Engineering

mine still has the factory front axle in it. so dont know if that will help but will definitely look into it as i have a 2x4 holding my tranny up in place for the time being. i have a crossmember for a 70s model ford truck that i was going to use in it but the thing is way to tall and make my bellhousing and tailshaft hit the bottom of the cab.
