flathead motor mounting bracket

[GPster]

You'd better find a picture to show us. Those mounts were the industry standard. All of Hurst mounts were set to meet that width so that everything would bolt into a '39 to '48 ford frame. Some of the other possibilities might be: The French had a different mount configuration, You're thinking about an earlier flat head engine with the water pumps in the heads or You're thinking about a 60 HP engine. The only frame that I can remember being that narrow would be the "T". I don't think "A" frames are much different than '32s because one of the tricks was to use an "A" crossmember in a '32 frame because it was flatter. If you are using an "A" frame you could be confused by the 4 cylinder mounts because they were narrow (like you describe). The "A" frames were 103" long and the "32 frames were 106" to give more length for the bigger motor. The usual course of events was to cut off the back of the "A" crossmember when using the "A" frame  because the Flathead crank pulley could not sit in that crossmember recess. If you're that narrow you may have the engine too far foreward. A V8s run un-fendered because they use the "32 frame and if they have a hood it's longer than a stock "A". Show us a picture of what you think you want. GPster
