I've been sercing the web the last few days and found alot of info on mounting a sbf to different transmissions. You have alot of options if you mount it transverse but I would like to mount it long ways as I stated in my first post. You can do this with a sbc and the 325/425 trans axle. As I said before this transaxle comes back under the block so you have room for this mount and keep the cv axles lined up. Just can't find a ford trans like this. I did find a link but i can't find it again about someone who mounted a sbf to a gm th325 transaxle? This would be the same as the sbc mount and keep the cv axles lined up. By using an early 302/351 with a carb and the gm th325 you would not need any computer and special wiring. Also getting a adapter plate made to mount the ford block to the gm trans would not be a big deal. You would have to use the torque convertor for the gm trans. The other prob would be the flexplate. This wound be the mount up between the ford and chevy. You would need to have a flexplate that would fit the ford crankshaft bolt holes and the chevy torque convertor holes. As long as everything fit inside the chevy bellhousing it should work? You would aslo need to fab a pilot bushing. no big deal. Now this is alot of work but it is worth it to me to have a ford motor in this kind of kit.This all seems to easy. What am i missing?
