I thought I was going to make some brackets or something to bolt in a 90s chrysler lebaron top motor in my 55 ford but it fit using the original mounting holes,all I have to do is play with the wiring.  Shorten the wires going from the relay to the motor and put some ends on the wires to bolt to the original wires and bleed the system and I can drop the top again.  Jeff

Amazing how easy they fit, isn't it?
Welcome to hell. Here's your accordion.

Wires are hooked up and fluid has been added plus the system is bled but I have to hook the cylinders to the top frame,I was working on it out side and ran out of light and I did not want to get the drop light out so it will be finished tomorrow.  I drained everything and it took two quarts of trans fluid as those cylinders are twice the size of latemodels,I used a pump oil can to install the trans fluid and I am going to design a funnel with a angle and the end to simplify adding the fluid for the next time.  Jeff
