Modifying Truck Mounts to Fit ‘65 Valiant

Get some small block spool mounts. Flip those truck mount brackets upside down and bolt them to the K frame. You're gonna have to shorten the part of the spool mount that sticks out past the bracket they're pressed into so that they will fit down in between the upside down truck mounts. When you get the engine in the right spot, mark where your through bolts will go through the brackets. Drill the new holes in the brackets and trim the excess off. Then put it all back together and see how close the truck brackets art to lining up to the oval holes in the K frame. If they're off just drill new holes in the truck brackets and bolt them down. Done. That's how I'm going to do the 400 in my 64.
