Okay guys I need some help I have a 1955 ford f100 with a crown vic front clip and I am putting a 460 with a c-6 transmission in it and I need motor mounts that let's me mount the motor to the new cross members I have looked and looked and no luck . Hopefully there is someone that can help thank you

 

No offense meant, but I doubt any manufacturer would be anxious to make a set of off the shelf motormounts for you and the one or two others that might want them for this specific combo over the next several years, especially given the fact that using the CV IFS is a recent trend without a track record and the 460 is rapidly losing favor. A major part of this hobby is fabricating the parts necessary to combine various previously unrelated components into one's personal vision of a perfect vehicle. Motor mounts are a pretty simple and basic fabrication project, much simpler than installing the CV IFS.

 

I have the same crown vic and 460 with a C6 I did have to fabricate the motor mounts. There are mounts for the 460 that are made for a independent suspension but it was cheaper to make my own.

 

Universal mounts are sometimes referred to as "one size fits nothing". The required modifications to get them to fit is often more work than fabbing from scratch.

 

Ok thanks that's what I thought I can and will fabricate I just got lazy and thought that there was a better way I have seen the guys on gas monkey to it and when I ask them they can not or will not tell me or they really don't know lol

 

Sorry wrong thread.

 

One more vote for fabbing... bout the only way to do it with three different non stock pieces...

here's a '53 frame with Heidt's IFS and mounts for a 460

just drop the engine in ...block it up...tie it off... make you a cardboard pattern.
transfer to steel...and do the deed.

hope it helps

later

Thanks for the help on the mounts that is why I love this site there's is people out there that is willing to take time out of their busy day to help . No matter what questions I have about my f100s I know that I can get the answers (and again thank you)
