Re: 55-59 chevy front motor mounts
To add the original style V8 front mounts to a truck that had a six you will need the brackets that bolt to the front crossmember as well as the posts, washers, and rubber biscuits. If I were you I would buy one of the aftermarket crossmembers that use side mounts. You can get one for less than an original style setup. I have the original style mounts on my 57 with a 350 engine and they interfere with the power steering pump and also the outlet side of the fuel pump. You can work around the fuel pump issue but I had to modify my driver side engine mounting bracket as well as the power steering pump mounting bracket to get it to fit. If I had it to do over I would use the side mounts.
