All Small Six 250 width vs 200 width

[papawsfalcons]

I try to figure motor mounts on my 250. Looking to find in inches. 250-200. And 289. Thinking about using V-8 frame mounts. Saw an article. Thank you

Need to know exactly what and where you need measured.
I think in the past people on this site have used 200 mounts but need modifications. I want to say I read somewhere that someone used 390 mounts as well

from a previous post on installing 250 in a '61 (Comet). :
,
> The 250 is @ an 1-1/2 " taller and 1-1/2 " wider and due to a different WP is @ 2'' longer than the other engines but can theoretically use any year head. BUT to put a 250 in an early car can have many issues. I've done it and here are a few:


> Motor mounts need fabbing because engine is 3/4" wider at bosses on each side. I simply re-drilled the front early '61 mounts 3/4" 'wider' on each side. Also 'pinned' the rubber mount with grade 8's. for limited torque movement. I did fabricate the rear engine/tranny mount for a T5.

> No room for a mechanical WP fan, engine too long.

> Oil pan too deep hits steering center link

> Previously mentioned Firewall need major "forming"

> Starter hits center link

> If standard, the clutch Z-Bar won't work because engine is too wide.

> Most carb setups won't clear hood - too tall.

> Engine Belly-Bar Xmember interferes with Oil pan.

> Most trannys for the 250 will need tunnel "forming" as well.

> Cooling inlet and outlet in bad positions for stock rad or hoses

> Other less obvious differences in electrical, sensor and controls.

I'm sure some of my info is wrong but I'm sure most is right - from experience.
