Guys

I have a 71 that used to be an I6/3 speed manual. Guy before me put a V8/TH350 in it.

Guess he used the I6 motor brackets... V8 seemed to be happy there. even though the jackhole didnt bolt the bottom hole of the drivers side bracket to the crossmember

So, i wanted to know... can i use these I6 engine brackets with my 5.3/4L60e or do i need V8 ones?

thanks guys!
