Im going to try and finish my 455 65 skylark swap. Ive got a few questions though. Where is the best/easy place to put the new motor mounts I got from Poston. Could you give me exact instructions with dimensions from some part of the frame or something. Do I need to move the tranny crossmember back to accomidate the 455 and th400 transmission. Do I just take the bolts off, hammer it back and drill new holes. If you could email or post a wiring diagram and a diagram of how the intake, carb, air hoses all hook up. So far I understand the coolant hoses, Brakes, Steering,and where the fuel line attatches to the pump. The rest is a mystery to me. Even a few good photos of a complete one And I will be fine. Anything else you guys think I missed.
I have TA mounts and they bolted in the holes in the frame. I used the holes that move the engine toward the firewall. I mocked up a engine block with a tranny case and had to cut and move the mounting tabs back about 3 inches. I have a boxed convertible frame. I have not installed the engine yet but here are a couple of pics.
