Another Potential Problem

If any of you have been following the saga (or care to). I went out to this guys place today to pick up a new (used) A-Arm to replace my bad one and was looking at some of the 15 or so 67-72 trucks he had and noticed that the motor mount perches were in the front holes and mine are in the rear holes.

He explained to me that mine were in the 6 cyl spot and the V-8's were in the front holes! Well, I know my truck originally had a 6, but I pulled out a 350/400 and all fit and worked fine.

My question is if I were to get a set of brackets and move them to the front holes will that screw up my already one piece (and powder coated) drive shaft? I really don't want to have to make a new drive shaft if I don't have to. Is it a big deal to have the 350 sitting in the 6 cyl spot? Man, another thing to set me back....

What are you guys' thoughts?
