I found a 82 donor truck. I want to roll the 82 front end under the 66. crossmember and all. I heard to do this I need to make two holes larger and drill two fresh holes. After looking at the trucks I can see where it needs to be done. My question is what to do with the motor mounts? the 66 was a 6 cyl and will now be a 350. the motor mounts off the 82 do not fit the two top bolt holes of the 66 frame. Where do I go from here?
