Are these SB V-8 engine stands?

My engine is currently in the I-6 position, which is making my driveshaft too long. I think these are SB V-8 stands, but want to be sure before I start moving everything and lengthing the exhaust. Also, how much should I expect everything to move forward? About 4" or so?

yes

2"-3" Bob. PO had my 350 sitting back on I6 stands...when I switched over to Powell72's donated V8 stands she moved forward about 2-3"...which was nice for many reasons!

Cool, thanks Alex. At first I though about just leaving it where it is, but it comes down to spending the money to have the driveshaft shortened, or put the motor in the correct position and lengthening the exhaust for no money. I'm very frugal.......

Also, the cooling system should function better since the fan will be closer to the radiator....that is unless you plan to use electric fans.

A 4X4 shroud can be used, and it would line up 100% correct since the small block was in that location in 4X4 trucks, however, most likely, his truck either has no shroud, or the fan is not in the shroud properly, and in either of those two cases, you are dead on with the better cooling part.

It had a shroud, although it was too short. I had a piece of stainless cut 6" wide and wrapped it around the opening then rivited it to the shroud. Worked OK that way, the fan was right at the edge of the stainless. But I'm gonna move it up anyhow and maybe go with electric fans in the future.
