Actually the motor came out of a running 72 chevy built motorhome. I haven't fired it up since I've had it, but have heard it run a couple years ago when the PO had it. When I got the motor out, I was lucky enough to get the motor mounts with it. I was able to use the forward holes, and had to cut about a half inch of the top flange of the frame rail. I will run the motor stock with a few cosmetic upgrades, and after I mock up the whole truck, and figure out whether I need to make any alterations, then I figured I would tear it down for a rebuild when I do the frame off on it. I will be using a later model booster, and adding the camaro caliper's so I will be getting ahold of you for the brackets...
