6 Cylinder Swap Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

A friend of mine has a 51 3100 with a 216 in it and he wants to swap in a crate 292. He also wants to keep the original style front motor mount if possible with the bigger engine to try and keep it as original looking as possible. Does anyone know if this setup will work or will the front style motor mount only work on the older series engines. Also has anyone swapped in a newer style 3 speed and kept the original shifter on the factory column?
