There are a few people making the conversion mounts. Generally, you'll need to go with an electric fuel pump since the adapter plate covers the mechanical fuel pump location.

Don't know the right or wrong of it but I used a driver side motor mount and three 1" spacers. The spacers were made out of 3/8" galvanized pipe placed between the block and the motor mount. Poor mans fix and everything is straight and level. The benefit is being able to use the mechanical fuel pump.

I stand corrected. The bottom two bolts are the ones with the 1" spacer. I do have photos takes today. All I need to do is find a way to add photos.
