Motor mount help needed

[Omaha_Man]

I'm working on a 1960 GMC, I just hung a cross member from and 81 Chevy truck and want to use the motor mounts that bolt to the cross member. Do I need to add a spacer to the bottom of the mounts to get the angle right or do I need to modify the mounts so thet don't hit the top side of the frame? Thanks for any insite that you have.

Here's a link that shows how I did the motor mounts on my 1960 GMC. If you're keeping the bellhousing mounts the tail shaft crossmember won't apply.

Check out some pics......it changes the angle slightly but it wasn't difficult to set the engine in place; the usual pushing and

The frame brackets from a C20 are a little shorter than the ones from a C10. But since yours is a '60 they will still be a little taller than the frame.

I have a 61 with an 81 xmember and ran into the same issues. I ended up using c20 mounts, notching the frame rails slightly, and half inch steel spacers. Everything went in really smoothly once i did that. I will try to get pics later if you would like them.
