    I am swapping an '86 302 w/AOD into a '58 ford that currently has a 223 6cyl. Where did you get those engine mounts from?

    I saw some sold by Butch's Cool stuff. They were about $200 and specifically say they will be a direct bolt on for a SBF with a C4.
    I am building a 289 to swap into my 59 and plan to use a AOD, so I have the same issue.
    I am looking for other mount options and cross member possibilities .

  4. From my experience, the front-sump pan is the way to go and the front crossmember is set in stone, it is so much a structural component, it is quite difficult to remove or do much surgery on and retain the strength. I've seen then notched and plated to put the strength back into them.
