Engine swap question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a nice 350 from my old 78 Camaro that I'm thinking about using in my 85 K20, but my uncle (he's been a mechanic his entire life) said that the engine mounts are different between the Camaro and the truck and that the engine won't fit (and also because my Camaro was a manual and the truck is an automatic). I thought the mounts for 350's are all the same and the engines can be swapped into any vehicle. Can I put this engine straight into my truck without any issues?
