1966 C10 Big Block 396

I have a 1966 C10 that I am restoring. Does anyone have any insight on the installation of a 1967 396 block in the truck? assuming I need to do is change out the 6 cylinder motor mounting brackets? any suggestions on that would be appreciated. thanks! Keith

Re: 1966 C10 Big Block 396

There are a couple of threads on this if you do a search. I made my own mounts when I did my 64 many years ago. I think some folks have been able to use big block mounts from the 67 and up trucks. I'm sure others will chime in with extra info.

There is a lot of info on this site if you do a search. But I know first hand that can be time consuming for sure. I used the big block stands and motor mounts for a 1969 big block in my 1965. I did have to notch the frame some, see pic.. I found used, years ago, new wasn't plentiful. Now from www.classicparts.com, the motor mounts - new are $69.95 each, PN 79-023. The stands - $94.95, PN 79-060 for the set. Good Luck!
