Assuming that you have a Y block engine and the front motor mount bracket, as my memory serves, the motor mount bracket bolts to the timing chain cover. Hold the bracket up to the cover, you should see the bolt holes.New owner of previously bastardized 56.
First of my problems is probably mundane to you folks, but I am in search for information on how to bolt on the front motor mount bracket to the block, car did not have this setup when I purchased. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Hill's thunderbird center catalog has an illustration on page 43,I have mine apart right now and can get you pics. I'll have to send them in email since I can't get them to load to this siteNew owner of previously bastardized 56.

Make sure you have the correct one for the TBird or the harmonic balancer (for the bird only) will hit before seating properlyNew owner of previously bastardized 56.

There are no numbers. temporary fit the one you have and slip the balancer in place ( this balancer is specific to the tbird as well hard to get but are now available aftermarket expensive) if it does not hit the mount you are probably a winner........OK now I'm worried, front mount purchased was touted as T-bird mount, how can I be sure that mount is truly T-bird specific?
