Thanks, I'll check it out.

A Ford FE (390/427/428) universal engine mount kit should be the same as what you’d use for a Y.  That will give you another avenue to explore.  Here’s a link to get you started.

Has anyone seen aftermarket engine to frame mounts to put a side mount 292 in a Model A frame?  Or are they normally fabricated?  This would be the engine, not prame mount.

Thanks.

Awesome, this is exactly the info I was looking for... real world experience.  By the way, I love that salty truck.

- as far as headers are concerned.. I'm going to be running lakes style headers (open), just like my current 302.

The "Brick" uses the wide truck front mount and a tail shaft mount on a Toploader. We even run a little bit of power through it, never had a problem with it breaking in the middle.

A Hurst mount is on Ebay.

Another thing to think about with the front engine mount: Headers! Not sure if you have a set of headers figured out yet, but Ive heard that the truck y-block headers provide a better flow and a little more horsepower. I think there are a few companies that make after market truck-style headers for cheap. I have been tempted to buy a pair of these headers for my station wagon with a 312 y-block, but because the engine mounts are on the side of the block, not to mention suspension issues, the truck headers would never fit.



I imagine if you use the truck style mounts, you could get some efficient and cheap headers that would fit on your y-block! Just another thing to think about...

I didn't see it mentioned and sorry if it was but Flat-o makes a C-4 adaptor for the car and one for the truck with side mounts. http://www.flat-o.com/carproducts/yblock.htm. Mummert probably has them as well as the adaptors he sells are made by Flat-o.



Using the truck bell would allow you to use the truck front mount and support and stabilize the rear of the engine with the bell mount.
