Re: solid motor mounts
Unless this is a drag race only setup i would not do it. The frames on these trucks have to much flex and something will break. When I put the 396 in the 64 I had we had to make the frame mounts. Since these trucks never came with a big block there are no factory stands.

Re: solid motor mounts
I have some solid motor mounts of the '73+ style that I made. You would just need the frame brackets from a '73-'86 C20/30 or a '87-'91 R2500/3500.

Re: solid motor mounts
with that much power he can afford to stiffen up the frame........ Could even put a plate on each side and make the bed n box one unit.

Re: solid motor mounts
With that much power it will need a full cage to get down the track. If track only a motor plate and a mid plate would be much better and get the load off the trans. Then if you run a trans mount with the plates use a soft stock mount. Use a plate where the stock mount went to put your engine limiters.
