Re: 8ba in a 32 ford
On all the 32 chassis I have built for myself and customers I put the weld on side mount brackets even with the top of the frame rails which leaves the top biscuit just a tiny bit on top of the rail.

Charlie, That's how I'd do it if I had an original frame. Drake makes some nice original forged mounts. My reference above to how I mount my motors is in reproduction frames.

Re: 8ba in a 32 ford
Rather than remove and reweld the mounts, make up a shim of the appropriate thickness to put you above the frame and place them underneath your biscuits......

Re: 8ba in a 32 ford
I like to use 1951 mercury water pumps and the risers. I have to ask how are your hoses lining up would be my biggest concern.
