Re: 51' 3100 build in PA New to Site

63 Panel. Yeah no paint for sure. I don't often like seeing these trucks in paint. Motor mounts are 350 mounts, but the ones that bolt to the frame are moved forward about 2" maybe. I basically bolted a steel plate to the bottom mount, then mounted that to the engine. Then got the engine in place on frame. Tack welded the plates. Drilled the new holes through the plate and frame and then finished welding the plate to the frame. I have a pic that will show you how close I am to the frame rail. But my fuel pump is the kind that points to the right. You can get ones that point forward and you won't have as tight of space to get your fuel line in. PM me and Ill send you some pics.

Also something I didn't take into consideration. It is a pain to get all the bolts in because of the a-arms, you might have to take them off to get to all the bolts in.
