differance between motor mounts

[arkracing]

I tried a seach for a thread on this..but didn't exactly find what i was looking for:

are small block and 6cly stands the same? just the position is further back for the 6cly??

how much further foward should they be for a small block?....i noticed that there are 3 hole on the top side of the frame..the back two are currently taken by the "6cly" mount and the furthest toward the front is open. do you just move the tower to the front two holes and drill a new hole in the crossmemner for the bottom bolt to put the stands in the "V-8" Position???

I guess the V-8 will fit in the 6 position..but clearance is a little tighter in the back...and the other thing that i'm guessing is that the SBCShroud wouldn't be as effective...or can you overcome that problem by using a long style waterpump???

I'm just assuming all this stuff..so please correct me/help me out if you know...i appreciate it

Thanks,
Andy

I assume your assumptions are correct

The V8 and I6 stands are different. If you try to move the I6 stands forward into the V8 holes, they won't all line up. If you use the proper V8 stands, the holes will all line up.

Lots of guys have used the rearward I6 stands for their V8 engines with the long water pump setup. The extra length of the long setup compensates for the more rearward setting of the engine. Plus, long pump pulleys and brackets are much easier to find now days.
