Registered: Mar 2000	posted 08-05-2001 01:07 PM Can some one tell me how the transmission mount goes in a 69 with a C-6 The mount I have has two holes for the frame on on side and one hole for the frame on the other side.Now I have the wide part (2 holes) on the passenger side and the motor mounts will not line up. Am I wrong or do i have some wrong parts? thanks Lyle IP: Logged

On my car the frame of the car has more than one set of bolt holes. Does yours? When you say the motor mounts won't line up: Are you talking about the ones on the engine? If so, there is a left and right side, they will bolt up to the wrong side, but the offset is different. Later, David Cole IP: Logged

Their are 2 sets of holes on the frame but I dont think that is my problem The bottom of the mount has slots in it. I am to far off for the slots to help. I need to look again at the engine mounts I think they are correct. That means the frame mounts might be on wrong. Lyle IP: Logged
lyle29464 Gearhead Posts: 958 From: Mt. Pleasant S.C. Registered: Mar 2000	posted 08-05-2001 06:49 PM I dont think I made it clear. The engine mounts bolt up correct to the engine but to fit into the frame mounts I need to move the motor foreward about 2 inches. I can get only 1/2 to 1 inch from the slots in the transmision mount. I have some help tomorrow so I can rethink it all. Lyle IP: Logged
Dave_C Gearhead Posts: 964 From: Gadsden, Al Registered: Aug 99	posted 08-05-2001 09:59 PM Hmmm, what was the orignal and current engine? Original trans? My car had a 302 and C-4 from the factory. The 351W and C-6 went in just fine. What is the current C-6 out of. I know of at least 3 different tail shaft lengths. Maybe the rear trans mount is different. I had a similar problem when I swapped the C-6 out for a Powerglide this past spring. Used a steel plate to bridge the gap. 5"X6"X 1/8" plate. Bolted the plate to trans. Bolted the rubber mount to the other end of the plate so it would line up with the slots. Later, David Cole IP: Logged

Registered: Mar 2000	posted 08-05-2001 11:08 PM Hey thanks I may have to do something like that. my car was a 302 with a c4 I got the 460 block and c-6 from a 68 mustang (not original) so I have to do a little trial and error to get it right. I think I may have the frame mounts wrong. I may work on it tomorrow. Lyle IP: Logged
