v8 to 6 swap
well its the old mans truck and we just need anoughter driver. 85 4x4 4spd originally a v6 plain jane power steering power brakes. so will the mounts work the 350 fit just fine. I think my inline is a 250 have to see if its not a 292. if i remember right 292 has offset mounts. 350 to inline geez old man must be getting old.

I'm not sure about the V-6, but it should use the same mount as the 350. If so, then the 250 L-6 will use the same mount, but you'll have to move the mounts to the lower position on the motor-mount mounts. You're right about the 292, it uses offset mounts.

If it's a 4.3 V-6 then the mounts are different than the ones for the 350. When I swapped out my 4.3 for the 350 I hade to change the motor mounts and the towers. They were all different.

well I pulled the 350 today to find it setting on v6 mounts (no crossmember). the inline 250 I plan on putting in has the three bolts for the mounts turned around one on the top and 2 on the bottom(exact opposite of the v8. so ? is if I go to the priceless artifacts yard sometime this week to find the crossmember will a v8 work? I understand they came out with a 250 till 84 but finding one will be near impossible. This is a 4x4 truck. I think its time to go get a 12 pack.
