67 chevelle BB motor mount help!

Jason;

You'll have to drill new holes in the frame rails for the TH400 location. Just center the crossmember up on the trans mount and side-to-side, mark the locations and drill 4 new 3/8" (actually, 13/32" is better so you have some wiggle room) and bolt it down.

Piece of cake.

Glad to hear the motor mount issue is resolved.

Eric that won't work, the mounting tab's on the frame for the cross member are to short. If they were 3 inches longer towards the rear of the car that would work. I will look a little closer tomorrow I ran out of time tonight! Someone mentioned on team chevellle an extension plate for the turbo 400 transmission anyone every hear of that? Was the 400 avaliable in 67?

Convertible?

Yes, the TH400 was available from the factory in `67.

I know what I need to do now! Yes this is a convertible. for some reason I thought the turbo 400 wasn't avaliable until 68 I guess I was wrong! Learn something new every day.

Jason, the 67 had a remote reservoir...at least on the BB cars I've seen and the one I owned. I may have some photos in the file if you need them.

Finally the motor is in. I fabricated the turbo 400 brackets last night and got every thing mounted and welded in place tonight. I forgot to wipe down everything before the picture please excuse the dirt.

Onto the body work!
