Lowdown Hot Rods installed a set of our #2050 small block Ford engine mounts in a ’32 Ford chassis.
-
- Mock the motor in position, considering firewall/ distributor clearance, radiator/ fan clearance, and oil pan clearance.
-
- Space the 3/8″ engine plate 1/2″ off the surface of your welding bench and position the urethane bushing outer tube.
-
- Tack and weld the outer tube in place.
-
- Position the gusset and tack in place.
-
- Weld the gusset.
-
- Remember, the gusset goes on the bottom and there is a driver/ passenger side!
-
- Bolt the engine mount to the block.
-
- Measure the horizontal distance from the inside of the boxed frame rail, and a vertical dimension from the top surface of the frame rail up (or down) to the center of the urethane bushing tube.
-
- Draw a line perpendicular to the edge of your work bench. This will represent the inside surface of your frame rail.
-
- Draw a line parallel to the workbench edge the same distance as the height of your frame rails. This represents the top inside corner.
-
- Test fitting the passenger side front plate. You will probably have to measure for the rear plate as well.
-
- Measuring the rear frame plate.
-
- Repeat on the driver’s side.
