Re: 1962 Chevy K20 4X4 LB FS 3/4 Ton
John the 60-62 K series are not as high 7 13/16 VS 8 1/8 for the 63-72. not an insurmountable difference
I just went out and measured my 64 K frame on the inside height at the mount and it was 5 1/4" on the 84 K frame at the same place was 5 1/8" ron |

Re: 1962 Chevy K20 4X4 LB FS 3/4 Ton
My '75 K5 frame measures 5-5/8" where the engine mount bolts up. The '81-'87 frames must be slightly shorter?

Re: 1962 Chevy K20 4X4 LB FS 3/4 Ton
John; I did talk to the fellow about the later eng mounts/ crossmember. he says that his came out of a Jimmy. all that he had to do was cut 11/16 of the top of motor mount part and the he welded a 3/16" plate 90 degrees to the top of it so that it would slip inside the frame rails so that he could drop 2 bolts down through the top of the frame. he aligned the m/mounts with the frt axle as to the same alignment that it was in the jimmy, which I think brings it further forward than where the sbc originally would sit in the truck. we did measure the height of his eng vs the one in my 4 x 4 and his sat 1/2" higher than mine. he also couldn't fit the shroud on the rad so he is running electric fan .he is also running a serpentine setup. he also put in the later sway bar crossmember for the swaybar. all fits fine

Re: 1962 Chevy K20 4X4 LB FS 3/4 Ton
OK, so some modification was necessary. That is what my measurements were telling me also. Thanks for the clarification.
