Slick 60's

Hello all, new to the boards and can use some direction. I am wanting to replace my 292 Y-Block / 3-speed manual with a 302 or 351 and an automatic. I have concerns with fit, motor mount position measurements, tranny support brackets, etc.

Is there a website or a guide you can share that could help me figure out the measurements and clearances for this kind of a swap? I would hate to buy the new engine and tranny and have problems with exhaust or other clearances.

Any help is appreciated.

can and has been done, you will need aftermarket crossmembers which are available

i would suggest looking thru the projects and builds section to get some ideas.

Those mounts are perfect! thank you soo much. Quick follow-up question, Do I still need to be concerned with a rear sump or is there enough clearance with these mounts to put in a forward sump 351?

at stock height you should be fine , not sure though, someone will chime in that knows for sure .

Thanks again. I found a 351C with a Cruise-O-Matic and want to know before I buy, came out of a 71 Torino.
