I have a video tape from 'No Limit Engineering' where the guy fabricated his
own motor mounts and welded them to a Fat Man crossmember for a Mustang II.
But the concept should be the same.

Greetings all,

This is my first message.  My problem relates to motor mounts for a small
block 350 into a '58 Chev.  I acquired one of the universal tube motor
mounts.  The problem is that I have installed one of the Gibbons front-end
cross members to enable installation of a Chrysler torsion bar front end,
and I do not believe that I can move the engine back far enough so that the
mount can be installed to clear the steering box.

The manufacture says, "Yeah, I guess that could be a problem.  We just use
the motor mount that we make and weld it on to the crossmember.  We will
sell you one for approx $200."

Anyone have any suggestions.
