Newbi help
Greetings, just got a 56 panel as therapy for my illness (Old Fords). No motor, radiator, trans and the rear end is questionable but body is in pretty good shape. I have a couple of 289’s to work with and a C4 trans for rebuild. I’m studying motor/trans mounts and radiator/fan purchases to start build. Any thoughts on preferred methods and or product’s to complete this task? I’m thinking biscuit motor mounts and straight trans mount from Dennis Carpenters catalog but not sure of anything. I’ll post pictures as my forum skills progress. Many thanks

Welcome to FTE 
Just my 2 cents, But think twice before you remove the old rear engine crossmember. It keeps the frame rails from spreading as the cab pushes down on them.
As far as installs, it really depends on what frontend you plan to use, do you want bolt or weld in mounts. Lots of options.
When ya get a chance attach some pictures. We luv pictures.
