Crown vic swap motor mounts for sbf

Post by Fordkid68 »

Hi,
I am doing a crown vic swap in my f100, and putting In a 351w. Was just wondering about motor mounts.
I am considering fabricating some.
If anybody has done this could you please tell me how tall you made them, and how far forward they need to be.

Also, from the factory the engine was offset to the passenger side. Do I need to do that, or can I center it for more right side header clearance.

Thanks!
Adam

Offset eliminated vibration. I would try to get the center of gravity close to that of the original.

Interested in this also. Stock Marks have upto 290 hp and can be modified to produce over 3x hp if wanted. Unfortunately, they use premium fuel. Interested to see how it works.

What other Internet articles have you found?

Thanks for the help!
I will be keeping the factory offset.
I'm considering just buying some mounts from outcast autoworks, that way I know they'll fit, and it'll save me a ton of time making some.

I've never seen anyone just do the engine swap, just the entire front end for the all the benefits of the CV.
too many Fords, no where near 'nuff time.

or, money.
