Thanks. I think you are right if you mount your V8 on the 6cyl engine mounts because nothing changes to much. But the factory V8 mounts were more forward than the 6cyl so in my case the rods will be too long.

It might just be a case where I can cut them and weld them but with all the weird bends and so forth I'd rather just get a set of 6cyl.saginaw rods.
