'59 ford ranchero with c6 trans mounting issues
-
i have a 1959 for ranchero with a 352 fe. i had a c6 beefed up with shift kit and higher stall.
i joined the engine and transmission, and installed.
i attatched the old mount and cross member to the c6 trans and found it does not sit in the same place, it is about 2 inches further back.
the engine mounts i used are (anchor motor mount part # 2141). the same that were on before with the 352 & cruise-o-matic.
... is there another trans. mount & cross member from another year that will work... engine mounts... should i fabricate my own cross member...
any ideas? -
I don't know if there is another mount to use for the trans, but I would think that you should be able to fabricate a plate to bridge the gap from the original spot that the crossmember sits to the mounting for the trans seeing it is only 2 inches difference.
