I have a 55 effie that came with a linclon M8 32 valve motor and tranny. I have everything except the fuel system(not a big problem), anyways I wanted to know if anyone had mounted one of these and if so did you make your motor mounts or can I buy something that I can trim to fit? I have the Fatman MII front end already in with a 351w but I want to go to the mod motor for the (being different) factor and it ought to be reliable with air and power steering already on the motor.

 

Welcome to the board.Try this and see if it's what your looking for.I just ordered a set and the cross member. Mine isn't ford but you can probably find what your looking.Just copy and paste. www.midfifty.com/07catalog/Page%20123_125.pdf

 

Thank you for the insight, but they don't have it. Was hoping some one had done this swap. ????

 

Im putting a 01 32 valve cobra in mine. I couldnt find any ready made motor mounts
so I made my own U shaped out of 3/16 steel plate. Make them from cardboard first
then use the cardboard as your templates takes time but it works

 

The September issue of Classic Trucks has an article showing how they built the mounts for the mod motor they are installing in their project Bumpside (p58). It might give you some ideas for yours.
