Hey all.... with some great advice from Crazy Longhorn... I talked myself into buying an Olds 455 with a TH400 transmission to put into my 1970 C10.... I have heard that I can use engine mounts from a V-8 olds.... or chevy BB.... What about the tranny crossmember? The chevy bolts to the bellhousing.... but the olds is on the tail of the tranny.... Anyone mess with that before? I have swapped motors before, but only same parts. Any advice for a newb would be appreciated!!!
