Yep, no problem. You'll just need the motor mounts themselves, and also a trans mount. Bolt the engine and trans together, and set them in as one unit. Once you get the engine located on the motor mount stands, and the bolts started into the mounts, slide the trans crossmember in place. Then once the trans mount is secured to the crossmember, tighten the motor mount thru bolts. Then you can locate and drill the new holes for the trans crossmember.

The motor mounts were used from '63-'72 on the small blocks, and the trans mount from the same year span would work also.

Also, when you buy motor mounts, stay away from the $5 models they sell on Summit. I have $10 of Chinese junk sitting on my shelf - junk - because the baseplate is about half as thick as OEM.

Glad I read this. I was looking at those yesterday.

I had the same question about my 63 C10 and found help in this post. Different years, but similar set ups.
