Re: Motor Mount Location

Ok boys, I have a question, why in the world would you need to change the firewall to put a V8 in where an inline six was originally? I just don't get that thinking.

Do as engine swappers have done since the first swap, put the motor and tranny in the truck and locate where the mounts go and weld them, it is that simple.
