Wanted wtd info re mounts

[361UZ]

Hi All:
Mounting a 1UZ (ex Crown) into a Chev.
Mounts are a little too far back, is there mounts that mount a bit further forward?

Cheers

what kind of chev?

 

[361UZ]

Sorry, 1936 Chev roadster. With the box section chassis.
The standard Crown mounts are a bit too far back so the steering shaft wants to go right where the engine mount is.
If I can get a pair of those alloy mounts, and mount them so they point forward, that will give enough clearance for the steering shaft to go under the mount.

Possibly.
What does the actual rubber mount part look like?
Thanks for the picture by the way.

alloy and steel side by side

Get some suitably sized flat bar and make them to suit. It's a lot less stuffing around than trying to find a "Bolt up" and then you will know that it's right
