When we ran a full service chassis fab/turn-key hot rod shop a number of years ago, it was always useful to have threaded things around to weld into the frame for some kind of mount, etc.
Here’s a list of all our threaded things for your reference:
Ford FE Engine Mount Kit (352, 390, 406, 427, 428)
This engine mount kit is designed specifically for Ford FE engines, compatible with the 352, 390, 406, 427, and 428 models. Available in options for 2-hole and 4-hole mounting boss blocks, this kit provides a sturdy and versatile solution for installing FE engines in a variety of frames, from compact T-buckets to larger F100 pickups.
Flexible Frame Fitment
The 3/16" trim-to-fit frame plates allow for easy customization based on your specific frame width, accommodating a range of chassis designs. Filler plates are also available to create a third side on the frame plates for added stability, ensuring a secure and reliable engine mount.
Compatibility and Mounting Options
- (WS)213901: For FE blocks with 2 mounting holes on each side, typically found in 1958-64 production engines.
- (WS)213904: For FE blocks with 4 mounting holes on each side, generally found in 1965 and newer productionengines.
Please verify your block’s mounting hole configuration before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Durable and Vibration-Resistant Design
Crafted from a 1/4" main plate and reinforced with 3/16" gussets, this mount kit is built for durability and strength. The design includes urethane bushings (1-3/4" wide), which effectively absorb engine vibrations for a smoother ride, reducing strain on mounting points.
Easy Assembly and High-Quality Hardware
The kit comes with all required zinc-plated metric bolts and lock washers, ensuring a secure and corrosion-resistant assembly. Choose between the fully TIG welded kit for a ready-to-install solution or the ready-to-weld kit for customization.
Kit Highlights:
- Suitable for FE engines with either 2 or 4 mounting holes.
- Frame plates trim to fit frames of varying widths.
- Durable urethane bushings included for vibration insulation.
- Available fully TIG welded or as a ready-to-weld kit.
This versatile, high-quality kit combines ease of installation, strong support, and the flexibility to fit multiple frame widths, making it an ideal choice for Ford FE engine builds.
