Small block Chev in 64 GTO

[Gary Byrne]

I bought it this way. Vert sloppy conversion, dropping a chev 400 w/350 trans where a 389/4 speed was. Engine sits about 2 inches too far forward. Engine mounts were welded directly to chassis with no chassis mounts. What can I do to move engine back so I can add chassis mounts and bolt it up. Don't want to do a bunch of fabbing if I don't have to.

Frame mounts that bolt to the crossmember and engine mounts from a small-block Chevelle will put things where they belong.

I do believe the correct mounts are available aftermarket. Jegs list some,
969-9596 I believe the number is the correct one. But check it out. I used frame mounts from a 65 Beaumont and used the correct Energy suspension rubber mount that bolts to the engine. Worked great for me. They are bolt in mounts, used the exsisting bolt holes.

This could also be the right time to switch it back to Pontiac power. But the aftermarket is full of mounts for these a bodies, from rubber to solid steel.
