I did my swap about 16 months ago. It was just me and my dad. We knew the mounts were different and that on a V-8 that they were slid up, so to be safe we went with what Chevy had originally done. With the V-8 mounts and a flex fan my distributor is about 2" off the firewall and my fan has about 2" of clearance from the radiator. I like where the motor sits and happy with what I did. With moving my mounts I don't have to mess with doing what 1969K10 had to do. If you can use the I6 mounts, why not take the bolts loose and slide them up to the next hole to get clearance??????
