Re: Pontiac engine in a C10

I have not done this for over 40 years, but put an Oldsmobile 350 in a Chevy - both A bodies. I used the Olds motor mounts from the Olds doner and bolted to the Chevy frame, the Olds 350 Rocket and TH350 trans fit right where the Chevy stuff was. To put an Olds 350/455 in a square body is easy because you can get the motor mounts for an Olds diesel (78-81 I believe) and drop the Olds block right in.

I was told back in the day that to put a swap a Buick/Olds/Pontiac from one platform to another to use the motor mounts for the for the desired engine in the desired chassis. In other words you could put a Pontiac in an Olds (or Buick) A body by using the Pontiac motor mounts for that year A Body in the olds (or Buick) and the engine would drop in. You may want to cross reference the Olds Diesel mounts for the C10 to see if they fit other auto chassis, and if so the corresponding Pontiac mounts should work - in theory!
