I have a 62 Buick Skylark with an aftermarket front suspension, sub frame, and crossmember. I'm putting a Buick 350 in the car. The car has rack and pinion steering and I have to make motor mounts to avoid steering shafts. I'm using the cardboard as a templet to cut the steel. I plan to use 1/4 or 5/16 plate welded to the crossmember and upright. I will drill a 3" hole in the plate for the steering shaft and a 1" hole with round tubing for the motor mount bolt.I imagine a small gusset for the tubing holding the bolt. In addition, I imagine using a gusset to hold the plate to the crossmember. The passage side will have a similar tube, but a more traditional perch mount. In addition, I may add a horizontal piece running parallel to the crossmember. It would attach high on the perch.Think this works?Advice please.

Reply:Reebzrun that lower control arm all the way thru the crossmember///much more stabile that way...If not, add some flanges on the top and side...lots of stress there to counteract and if you haven't...box the ends of the crossmemberjohn
