SBC with front mounts with IFS? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here's a dumb question. On the '47 - '53 AD can a small block Chevy with front motor mounts be used if you're installing a typical IFS crossmember with rack and pinion steering? I had seen a post where a Task Force truck installation had to switch to engine side mounts because the steering rack interfered with the original front mounts.

The front mounts will interfere with the rack and pinion.The side mounts are the way to go.If we can help you out let us know?
