Red face 302 mounts

hi,
I have looked all over, i have a 1940 flathead would like to use a modern 302 also - i know trans dapt has universal mounts, but you have to google search for them....

you can also check tinmanfabrication.com

the flathead mounted from the very front of the engine while the 302s mount mid engine, so you may have to have a custom made up,
let me know how it goes, i am still looking for a solution.

thanks,
mpr

Also take a look at ..::FatmanFabrications::..

I used their mounts, but it was easier because I installed their IFS in my '47

About 8 years ago I put a 302 in my 40 ford 1 1/2 ton. I used the mounts from the donor truck which was an early 70's f100. I remember I had to do some reworking, but seemed like half as much work and they held up fine in hard use.

I used 73-77 T-bird mounts in my 49 and fabricated the supports for them...

Thanks for the ideas.... We went ahead and made custom motor mounts. We left the old motor mounts, because one day I would like to maybe put the flat head back in the truck.
