I have run a stock HEI on a 350 in my 64 C10, with the engine mounts in the stock locations. It's tight to the firewall, but it works. If you need to pull the distributor with the engine still in the truck, you just have to pop the cap off first, then the distributor will come out.

All that said, after a few years of running it that way, I bought an MSD small body HEI with external coil. It just makes everything easier.
