Re: Front Motor Mount 1956 Year with 302
Here is a photo of a service replacement front cross-member (B5A 5019-C) to give you an idea of the mounting points-
CORRECTION- Shown Is A Take-Out Why that oversize cooler I have no idea. That would be filed in Circular File #13.

Re: Front Motor Mount 1956 Year with 302
"We don't need no....Details".
I ordered the bracket from Jim on eBay, along with associated parts. No doubt this is what I find on the car whenever I get into something.....something not quite right. Thanks to all for looking over this matter and the great info supplied. I may get this all straightened out in March. |

Re: Front Motor Mount 1956 Year with 302
Does anyone have an idea as to the correct parts and the order they are in, concerning the radiator support mounting islets to the frame? The CD does not illustrate this mounting area to frame for a station wagon. Is the illustration for the 51a like a Wagon but with two mounts? It looks like 3 large grommets and one washer, don't know if there is a spring inside the grommets..

Read the text on the left side of the Ill If the correct ILL is not in the Shop Manual, you will need an Assembly Manual for the model year. The actual insulator is rectangular in shape. I have no idea why the mounting system was changed (fabricated) in such a way unless they had trouble finding the correct service parts (or weren't concerned).

Do you have the below setup @ the bottom rear of your core support? This info seems to have been left out of the 49/59 MPC FINAL ISSUE.

K I have a 302 in mine and the front metal motor mount bracket is long gone, of course. Today I removed the rubber and metal bar from mount that sticks off lower radiator mount, they are no longer useful Last edited by Jwawhite; 03-09-2018 at 08:25 PM. |

Re: Front Motor Mount 1956 Year with 302
K, in your photo above, do you have a camera view of the rear mounts, behind radiator, from underneath or a frontal view...facing the rear of the radiator? What is the makeup of the parts, is it like my photos? Do you have a spring in ea of yours? I have three flat rubber washers with a large washer above and below them.

Yours has had an engine swap and as bad as I hate to say it, not very detailed in the workmanship. I would look for a good donor to pick the needed parts from. Please keep the board updated.

Re: Front Motor Mount 1956 Year with 302
I hope I haven't scared you. No matter how much it was butchered, it can be brought back. Are there any old car salvage yards close to where you are? I want to know the answer to this also as the 55/56 were a lot more complicated than I ever imagined. Don't forget, the front clip is held up with a main mounting and the mounting you just did. They have to work together.

Rethink the rear mount (in your instance front mount). OK... The measurements of the installed panels may be given in the SHOP MANUAL- 1956 FORD SHOP MANUAL Part Four - Bodies Chapter I - Body Construction and Maintenance 2 - Body Alignment 278 ...or... The original Ill's should be in this catalog - PUB DATE SEP 1956 ...or... The 1956 Specific Body Assembly Manual

The latest part being discussed is not an actual mount but something I believe designed to stiffen the frame/chassis. Is your main core support mount still intact or was it modified? Thanx for your info...

Re: Front Motor Mount 1956 Year with 302
George, yours is a sedan, yes? If it's a Wagon, would you snap a photo of the back of the radiator viewing up? I'd like to see your mount setup. Thnx

Re: Front Motor Mount 1956 Year with 302
All models will have the same setup, wagon or sedan.

Re: Front Motor Mount 1956 Year with 302
K, Wagons are different. Remember the "typical" illustration you posted? It portrays just the single stud through the radiator bracket directly to frame mount piece. Mine: a stud attaches a lower bracket (front of radiator, below stone shield) directly to a mount attached forward off the xmember, also, on the back of my radiator bracket are two attach points from bracket to frame: I am interested in finding out what originally was installed at those two points. Was it rubber cushions with heavy duty springs and large washers? What order of placement?
Was able to drive the Frankenwagon yesterday on surface streets and I believe the bouncing fenders are much improved with the new bracket install. Left photo bracket as described, right photo rear of radiator, two attach points on either side of forward engine mount. Thank you Jim. Last edited by Jwawhite; 03-13-2018 at 08:22 PM. |

Re: Front Motor Mount 1956 Year with 302
K if you look at the photo posted by George out of Maine (George how are those NorEasters?) there are no rear mounts like mine, but the front motor mount bracket pieces are removed.
They consist of two rectangular rubber pieces, rectangular metal bar to hold the rubber, the metal notched attachment point and 1/2 inch? Nut and bolt. He doesn't have a Wagon looking closer at pic. Last edited by Jwawhite; 03-13-2018 at 08:23 PM. |

Re: Front Motor Mount 1956 Year with 302
Jwawhite I just can in from plowing 9hrs so far about 6". I plow early so the state plow doesn't,t plow me in. I think the front cross member has been replaced on mine and handles very good stock height. I,ll get some pics and take a closer. I did notice the splash pan has some rust and pieced together.
I check mine out and the radiator support is bolted to cross member and all sheet medal are held by that. If you have problem with handing your cross member maybe rotted . ebay 1956 ford crossmember goodell new for $300 Last edited by George/Maine; 03-15-2018 at 01:02 PM. |

...is fabricated most likely by the person that did the drive-train upgrade. It is not OEM assembly. The other pieces you are describing (at rear of radiator) is (was) the ENGINE STEADY-REST and is not needed with the SBF engine swap. The detail of the 56 core support mounting has been deleted from the MPC. You will need either one of the two manuals I have listed previously and/or someone here with an original assy 56 to take photos. Without the original ILL/diagram, identifying the correct original assy will be difficult. Quote:
I would like to know the correct answer myself. Remember, the main support under the core support (16138) actually supports the front clip. The other bracket, just the gravel shield, grille and hood latch.
