Hi. I've noticed alot of trucks in the junkyards and such, having a different motor mount location. I notice automatic long box trucks, have their motor mounted more forward. I also notice some manual long box trucks have their motor munted farther back.....WHY???? These are small block trucks also. My short box truck had the 4spd in it, and am now putting in TH350, and the motor mount father back. Now, I know there's 3 holes in the frame for the mount pertch....and 2 are used to bolt on the pertch(proper name?). And only one hole in the front cross member for the bottom of the pertch. HELP??

Thanks!!

Shane
