Okay, what I am trying to understand is:
If I wanted to use, say a 1969 400, bolt it into a 1957 chassis. What would be needed to do? I understand about fabricating side mounts and the rear trans mount if I wanted to go that route...
What if I were to use a 1960 timing cover? From what I have learned the 1960 is the first year of "normal" coolant flow and the last year of the iron cover that is strong enough for a "chin" mount. I have heard of others do this. I just don't have all the little details.
I get the rear (bell housing mount) thing. I have a TH400 and I have the capability to fabricate such a mount to make a "mid mount". I could also make up a crossmember to use the normal TH400 mount also. I would NOT just do the "chin mount" and the normal TH400 mount. I think that would be too far apart for the mounts.
