71seth,

It sounds like someone drilled new holes to mount the small block?? I'm wondering what lower ounts you have now. The factory small block lower mounts will locate in the forward holes and the 6 cyld. mounts will locate farther back. You can mount the engine in the truck using the 6 cyld. lower mounts but it will have your distributor shoved back against the firewall. Lots of guys use this for drag racing for better weight distribution. I would recomend you find some small block lower mounts, they will bolt in only one way in the forward position. The last driveshaft I had shortened cost me 100 bucks if memory serves me, if you don't take too much off sometimes you can luck out without a rebalance of the shaft. Sometimes no go and you will have to rebalance it.
