Anyone know if the fabrication companies that sell ready made Ford frames have a Y block motor mount option? or has this always been a pure custom install from the start?

I have access to a good 34 Ford body for a good price, considering purchasing a ready made frame to make my task a little easier. Any suggestions?

Daniel: I'm not aware of anyone making a frame setup directly setup for a Y-Block, however someone else may no better. But, you might want to buy that body quickly before someone else finds out about it, buys it & puts another da_n SBC in it!  Good, 73 year old 34 Ford bodies are scarce!

If inquiring about motor mounts to the frame companies, you might request if Fe engine mounts (390, 427, 428) are available as the pre-1964 models will interchange with the Y-Block in most cases.

thanks Ted - why didn't I think of that? I already use an FE starter!
