motor mounts and transmission cross member - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am putting a v8 into my 65 chevy truck. It's a 350 GM crate motor. Can anyone help me succeed before I stumble on this one? Things to look out for?....things that work?.....things that don't work, so don't waste your time kind of ideas? What motor mounts will I need? Will radiator from old 292 motor work? Will I need to re-vamp the tranny cross member? My new tranny is a turbo 350. Any information will be helpful. Thank You.

I did the same exact thing with my 65 chevy pickup, put a gm crate and a th350. I had the v8 283, and a 4 speed manual tranny. email me at corvettetruckin@msn.com if you want. I probably could help you out with your questions, what motor and tranny did you have in it before?
