Also The mid croosmember the one that bolts to the bellhousing does that need to move forward also. Thanks much help appricated

Re: motor swap
V-8's and inline 6's use different motor mounts, but I am not sure which holes to use on the frame.
I am sure someone that knows will chime in. Danny |

Re: motor swap
well i have a 4x4 and just put a 350 in it and used the rear holes but i wish i would have used the front ones. it is tight to the firewall but still fits. i guess it just puts the weight to the back. i was told the front holes are for bigblocks. you should be able to get motor mounts at any good autoparts store, or online
good luck! |
