Hello All,

I found this site from the HAMB, and I have a question that I think is better suited for this forum.

I’m replacing the 302 in my ’30 ford 5 window, with a ’57 292 from a f100.  I’m using the C4 adaptor from Mummerts. The y-block is a truck engine that is missing (not drilled) the side engine mounts.

My question is…

What is your opinion regarding the engine mounts? My current plan is to use only the truck engine mount in the front and standard C4 tail shaft style mount.  Is the distance between the engine mounts and the trans mount too far?  Should I make an additional mount at the bell housing?  Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks in advance!
