Show original supplier description
The Trans-Dapt 55-57 Chevy (Tri-5) Frame Mounts are engineered to address clearance issues in classic Chevrolet vehicles. This specific mounting solution offers a 3/4-inch forward offset for the engine, which is crucial for accommodating HEI distributors that would otherwise interfere with the firewall or other components. The mounts feature heavy-duty steel construction for durability and are equipped with vibration-dampening rubber pads. These rubber components help to reduce the transfer of engine vibrations to the chassis, contributing to a smoother and more comfortable driving experience. Key Features: * Engine Offset: 3/4 inches forward for HEI clearance * Construction: Heavy-duty steel frame mounts * Vibration Dampening: Includes rubber pads * Application: Designed for 1955-1957 Chevrolet (Tri-Five) models. A note of caution: Verify firewall and radiator clearance after moving the engine forward from its factory position. These mounts are intended for installing Small Block Chevy (283-400) or 4.3L V6 engines into the specified 1955-1957 Tri-5 Chevy passenger cars. Some sources indicate they may not fit convertible models.
