Help Please - Engine Mounts for 1958 Ford Ranch Wagon 351W Conversion
Hi All
I was wondering if somebody could please help? I am busy starting a conversion on a 1958 Ford Ranch Wagon and Fitting a 351W, it was previously factory fitted with the 6cyl lump, could somebody please now point out the correct engine mountings for me to use with the 351W. Also any other pointers at all would help. Many Thanks Daryn Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Small block truck mounts would have the stud to fit the slot in the mount pad, might not be in the proper place thought, a little fabrication might be needed.

Try Butch's Cool Stuff. They list either a kit for a car that originally came with a V8 or this one: https://butchscoolstuff.com/57-59-fo...e-kit-2510cpb/ It says its for an original 6 cylinder application or a station wagon. Not sure if it means its for all station wagons or just ones that came with a six. Worth a phone call, IMO. Hope this helps. Wagons are cool, again IMO.

Might try the HAMB, lots of post about the swap. I didn't think there was any difference on the car frame between 6 or 8. My last 58 has been gone 25 years.

Like the guy says, Butches Cool Stuff. A bolt in deal. six cyl and eight cyl mounts are the same. An easy job, the engine can be in and hooked up within an hour. No cobbling involved at all, worth every penny.

This will save you a bunch over the Butch's kit and the parts are all over the counter from Pep Boys or Autozone here are the part numbers and pictures read the notes under the pictures. If you need additional info feel free to message me. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...-mounts.41498/ And you will NOT need any spacers as other mounts that were suggested. Are you using an early 351 with a front sump oil pan ?

The engine mounts are from the Fox Body 5.0 Mustangs the rear mount was used from the mid 60's to early 80's in a lot of Ford models https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...129845&jsn=592
