308 engine swap

Looking for some advice on 308 motor mounts on our 46 pickup engine swap.

It fits in there pretty nice ---- except the steering arm nut is butting up against the lower casting flange of the block when we use a rubber motor mount.  I know some on this forum are familiar with this swap --- wondering what others have done.

Raise with rubber mounts, lower by modifying engine plate and dog ears, alter steering gear.

Please advise-----

  • I'm just installing one in a '42 Super Six.  I had to grind off some of the block to clear the sector shaft on the steering box.  I also had to put a dent in the firewall so that the exhaust manifold would clear.  I took the cups on the original 6 cyl engine mounts off the brackets (removed the brackets also) and welded them to the frame for the mounts for the 308.  Have fun.
