I was thinking the engine will become kind of a cross member when bolted up, although it won't be as solid with the rubber in the mounts. My 66 just has a 540 and turbo 400and just has the engine and tranny mounts, but being a 66 that's a little different frame. And now in the 51 it is just a 292, so no huge power or torque, so I thought it would be ok. I don't know, maybe I do need some bracing at the back of the engine. It would be easy to add another cross member.
