model b engine and 32 trans in a model a frame
OK, I have put the front axle and rear end in the model a frame. Now it is time to install the model b engine and 32 tranny in the frame. Any suggestions?

Re: model b engine and 32 trans in a model a frame
You will need to buy or fabricate mounts for the pedals and front wishbone. Check to see if your u joint cover fits, they changed the bolt pattern at some point. Your Model A rear motor mounts will not work, the bolt holes on the flywheel covers are in a different location between A and B (they just look that they are in the same location until you look carefully). They may have a float-a-motor mount for this application. When you said you put the front and rear end in I assume they are Model A. What year is your Model A?

Re: model b engine and 32 trans in a model a frame
The frame and body is 28. I am also installing a Mitchell over drive driveshaft. I heard that snyders makes a bracket for the 32 tranny.

Re: model b engine and 32 trans in a model a frame
I am in the process of installing a 34 pickup engine and transmission in my 28 open pickup I am using the front and rear float-a-moter mounts. I am not using the rear transmission mount. As I recall I am using the model a front cover. I can send you some pictures if you would like. Send me your email address.

Re: model b engine and 32 trans in a model a frame
Decided to use the model b front motor mount and drill two 1/2 inch holes in model a cross member. As far as the rear mount, the 32 tranny has a bracket near the middle cross member of model a frame so I will make a bracket to support the rear of tranny. I also just rented the drive shaft puller from Mitchell mfg in California. It cost $35 and I can use it for 2 weeks. Wont be long before the new od drive shaft is installed.

Re: model b engine and 32 trans in a model a frame
I called them and made the purchase. Once I get the puller I can install the Mitchell and then put all drivetrain together . Then I can fabricate the rear tranny mounts to the center cross member. Going to use the model b front engine rubber mount set between tranny and bracket.

Re: model b engine and 32 trans in a model a frame
I just thought you had your chassis hanging on the wall to save room.

Re: model b engine and 32 trans in a model a frame
Good looking garage, dump. That's what they're supposed to look like.
Your dump truck ain't so bad either! Looking good. |

Re: model b engine and 32 trans in a model a frame
I did hang the chassis from the ceiling to save room. Chain falls are nice that way. I have the subframe ordered but plenty of work to do on the drivetrain. Got the puller today and it worked sweet. Will install Mitchell tomorrow.
