TRD-4145 at www.summitracing.com what will i need to install this engine. will this mount work? TRD-4145 and what else will i need for it.

this is my first engien swap

what will i need to put in C-6 pr C-4 trans in, how/what do i need to mount it? do i need to mount it?

 

I used these, yes they work for a 302
I modified mine to put the engine off center to the passenger's side like ford had them, they are designed to hold the engine in the middle of the bay.

You will also need a transmission adapter. If you use a stock ford one it is off center too.

I see you have a '63. you will have to modify the rear engine/transmission mount cross member to clear your application too. Don't cut it right out. It holds the parking brake cable.

 

off center?

does the mount attach straight to the frame? or do i need to make soemthign for it?

adapter for a c-6?

 

Yes, Ford engines are off center in all their old trucks, 1- 3/16" inches (I am going by memory, someone correct if the number is different) to the passenger's side. the shape of the indent in the firewall will not line up on your engine if you put it in the centre..
Transdapt also make the transmission mount. It will work with a C6. It is meant to go with their engine mounts, so it is centered too.

Yes they bolt to the frame rails.

 

where can i get the trans mount?

these mounts will bolt into my truck? or will i have to make something,


thanks for coping with my questions, this is new to me

 

Should bolt right up. You have to drill holes.

 

thanks aloit for the help, ill probably ask more quetsions qhen i get this on its way

 

No problemo! Good luck

 

what are motor stands?

 

You don't have a mid engine crossmember to attatch them too. 65 and later f-100 4x2 trucks don't have front leaf spring suspension like we do. Therefore they can swap later model truck motor perches, disc brakes, and so on.

 

does that mean i can do the swap? or does it just mean i dont have motor stands

 

which trans mount would i need?
