Swapping burb/blazer buckets into a truck that had a bench seat does require inner bracket stanchions to keep the inside of the bucket seat level w/the outside. These could be made w/some steel plate bent up to the right dimensions or you can knock-out/cut them off of the floorpan from the donor vehicle.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
