Or, perhaps locating a vehicle that has or had a 460 in a wrecking yard ( pick a part), that you can snag the mounts from...

And welcome aboard.. nice car!

I used this same mount that I paid about the same for from CPP on my 48 F1. It was pretty straight forward to cut to fit in place.

I like the mount that Tech posted, seems a much better application for what you want to do.

Yup that's the one. Looks like a solid conversion.

Interesting, but I am not working a Chevy.

And, that source, at over $200 is the most expensive. The price from others range to less than $100.

I ordered this. I can make mount plates.

Life has really gotten in the way of putting this thing together. But I have something of a milestone. The real engine, transmission and differential are in the chassis. I will build the trans mount, align the pinion angle, and order the driveshaft after the suspension is loaded.

I don't think that I posted anything from those guys. On page one of this thread, I recommended and posted a link to Crites Restoration.

Hi and welcome back from me also. Thanks for updating your excellent progress on the Wagon, you have accomplished a fair bit in the rebuild. It is looking very good apart from my doubts over the brand of engine going into it. wink wink.

I can't get a good look at your T, but I am assume it is not a Ford-in-a-Ford. I can understand people liking SBCs. But then why don't they put them in Chevies?

My engine has one part distributed by Ford; the oil pump. It seemed like a good pump and a good price. And I had to modify the Moroso pickup to use it. And the roller cam bearings. I did not install them so did not realize they were Ford.

Yep-I noticed that you had probably written some BIGGG checks for a lot of aftermarket parts

Very nice work you have done so far. That will be a fun ride with a turbo or turbos.

I am starting with a pair of T3/T4 that I have. And the headers have turned into a major issue. I am having custom flanges made and I will fab them.
