Thanks MIke! YOu are correct about the mountings in each case concerned. The 292 has a front cover/motor mount. The rear motor mount is incorporated into the bellhousing. This used to be a very popular swap and some aftermarket companies made conversion bellhousings. Or, if you are lucky like I think I am, you stumble across a bellhousing used in their heavy duty cab-over trucks that married the FE to the T98 or T18. So if I am correct, now I have to worry about the front of the engine. Do I seek after a FE front cover/motor mount that were made, use one of the conversion crossmembers offered by JCW or fabricated some myself?
The easiest would be the JCW route, but I really like the idea of having the oil pan so available if I go the front mount or custom build side mounts.
I wonder if FE's were offered in trucks before '67? I could possibly copy that mounting system.
Sorry to be so long winded. Thanks again for your reply,
Rich
