help with motor mounts
I have a 67 c-20 that had a 327 motor in it . I have to rebuild the 327 it blew a rod. In the mean time I have a 1979 250 6 cylinder that I can put in the truck until I get the 327 back together. My question is can I use the same motor mounts from the 327 or do I have to get specific motor mounts for the 250 6 cylinder ? And if I do need different mounts does anyone know where a good place to start looking is ? Thanks for the any help.

Re: help with motor mounts
Should be the same mount, it is on 63-66. The only one which are different would be 292 and BB

Re: help with motor mounts
thanks, my 72 was a six, the PO put a V8 in it and the motor mounts are in the last 2 holes, the dist sits too close to the firewall now, can I just move the motor up to the front 2 holes?

Re: help with motor mounts
Just make sure you have the right motor mount frame stands.

Re: help with motor mounts
It will bolt up to the mounts, but the six will sit a few inches to far forward and wont clear the radiator.

Re: help with motor mounts
It sounds like you have 6cyl stands if there in the last two holes, V8 stands only work in the front two holes. Here is a pic of V8 stands

Re: help with motor mounts
thank you, didn't know that, so I'll need V8 stands now. Will the engine mounts that bolt onto the v8 block that I have with the 6cyl stands now in the truck work with the new V8 stands?

Re: help with motor mounts
Larry from what I understand you only need the right mount, The left one will move up and work on the 6 and the 8, but right one will only work on the 6. But I've also heard that the 6 mount wont work on a 8. I have the set that you need. since my truck was a 283 truck. I dont use the front crossmember anymore. I have a SD member. let me know if you cant get yours to work and will work something out if you want.

Re: help with motor mounts
Im still having a problem trying to find the 6 cylinder engine towers online anywhere . I have been able to find the rubber mounts, just not the towers . Does anyone know where I can find the engine towers to go on a 250 6 cylinder?

Re: help with motor mounts

Re: help with motor mounts

Re: help with motor mounts
If you bolt the six in the stock location for a six you will need to shorten your drive shaft. It is easy to bolt the v8 in place of the 6cyl but the other way around not so much. Unless it is a 4x4 then it wont matter.

Re: help with motor mounts
The small block mounts are the same mounts as the 6 cyls. exact same. the 6 cylinders just had a little spacer plate that went between the passenger mount and the block. the only 6 cylinder mounts that were different were the 292 mounts, and they only had a different passenger side mount that sat more forward. So if you have small block mounts, you can put a 6 cylinder on them as long as you have the spacer plate. As well as if you have a 6 cylinder (250 or 230) you can take it out and put the small block back in on the same mounts. Theyre the same except the 292's.
