Hello,
I picked up a 56 Tbird about three years ago and it’s been sitting Ever since. It didn’t come with the motor and transmission and looked like someone had installed something else at one time due to the custom welded motor mounts. I just picked up a low miles 1955 Mercury 292 with Merc- O-Matic from a fellow who was going total hot rod and was wondering what I would need to do to put this engine and transmission into my Thunderbird ? Original motor was 312/automatic according to firewall tag and transmission cross member is still intact. Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated thanks
