Help needed: swapping out 292 for a V-8 in a 4x4

[1969k10stepside]

The minimum you will need is a V8 crossmember.Some people use the crossmember from the 73-87 4wds for more clearance under the motor.The holes should all be there.You might find they line up once you have the correct crossmember.I dont have a pic with the V8 crossmember installed,but I think I do have a pic of where it should be.Now for clearance,do you prefer to run a body lift,move all the motor/tranny/t case crossmembers forward,or take the old hammer to your firewall?

Hahaha!...Well, I'd rather not use a body lift OR a hammer. I'll move everything forward if needed, provided there will be enough clearance for the waterpump......
Thanks for the help!
