    Has anyone used a Hurst-style cradle front engine mount to put a SBC in an Advance Design truck? Lots of discussions about lots of options for this swap, but I have not read of this mount being used in an A D truck. I know it’s somewhat popular in Model A and other brand hot rods.
    Thanks.

    Unless the block you have is a real early one, I'd just get the cross member for regular mounts.
     
  3. What's the reasoning for wanting to use that style, the steering box interference ?

    It will work as long as you don't run power steering or anything that might bolt to the same holes.
    I've used the previously suggested tube crossmember a couple of times and that is about as simple as it gets.
