Big Block 4x4 motor mounts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71elect · 11-29-2003, 05:06 AM

I'm toying with the idea of swapping out my 250 six in my 72 4x4 in favor of either a 396 or 454 that I've got access to. What motor mounts would I need? Not sure what to use since the 4x4s didn't originaly come with a big block.
Thanks,
Josh

Small block motor mounts is what you will need to use.
You move them forward one hole on the frame.
The motor mount on the right will move forward one hole ok.
The left motor mount will need a hole drilled in the frame for the forward hole while the mount has the rear mount hole in the existing forward hole in that side. Sounds confusing.
