Hi guys, I have a 53 Chieftain which I want to put into my car with a 4 speed. I'm a little stumped in that I could use my front mount from the 55 287 I already have in there but the issue is that now I have to use an aluminum bellhousing and I don't think it would be a good idea to try to use the current mounts to do that with. A couple of years ago I decided to replace the original straight 8 with a 55 Pontiac V8. Since the car was already a standard shift I thought I'd try that out. As it turned out I wound up using a 59 Bellhousing and a 66 Saginaw 4 speed and hung the pedals from under the dash using a 67 Chevy truck pedal setup. I reciently came across a 64 389 out of a Catalina 303 hp engine and trans, but I don't want to use the M10 trans. So now I'm trying to figure out how to stick this 389 into the Chief. Any suggestions or has anybody already done it? Any pictures would help.
