That's about where mine is, the PO swapped the 292 for a 350. It sits back in there a ways.

Re: Engine perch?
You probably have six cyl stands. The small block stands fit the front set of holes.

Re: Engine perch?
So the the two top sets of holes use the same hole in the crossmember with use of a different perch?

Re: Engine perch?
Northern 85, you have the I6 stands right now. If you want the engine to fit in the forward position you have to get the small block stands, they sit in the front set of holes. You do have the bottom hole in your crossmember, it is just to the left of your fuel pump blockoff plate. Don't forget that you will have to move your tranny crossmember and lengthen your driveline to get everything back in order. Good luck.
