Re: Gots a question 4 ya'll
a small block is a small block as far as mounts go, it will depend however what was in your truck before the swap. if it was a I6 it will be mounted in a diff. location. Should still work with those mounts though, im sure somone else will chime in though

I believe 86 was the first year of the one piece rear seal so you may have to get another flywheel or flex plate if you have an automatic.

Re: Gots a question 4 ya'll
Your actual motor mount stands are different the 86 uses the clamshell style whereas your 72 has the older kind,(technical name???) but you can use the 86 motor stand by drilling I believe one hole in the crossmember, and you would have better motor mount setup in my book.
