Y block motor mounts for fe

[rickj]

I'm putting a 66 390 in my 57 hardtop. I'm using the y block mounts. I switched sides but the drivers side valve hits the windows holds wiper motor. It set right in but noticed that when i was wiring it up. Does using the 58 fe mounts set the motor lower?

The mounts have the open side towards the radiator

Looks like I have them Faceing the wrong way per a different post. I'll turn them around and see how that works!

Switch the mounts around but still doesn't have clearance with wiper motor? Any help out there?

This motor is out of a Mecury. Would that make a difference ?

It's a bitch to have to ask and answer your own questions.  Wish I could help.  I have never put a FE in a '57.

try the mounts from a 58ford 332 it will drop right in, the Merc. is the same casting as a ford

I had seen the '58 mounts used in many older threads, I am curious though..does anyone reproduce them, or do you have to find some old ones?

I thought I would try the mounts for the 58 they must be not as tall. Thanks

You can still order the 58 mounts from any of the large auto parts houses. Tom
