First off, do i need new motor mounts for a small block to big block swap? Secondly, what all is entittled with a automatic to standard tranny swap. third-ly how do you figured out what spline the axles are and what does that mean really. Also a ford nine in ch swap. and finally a 1/t ton 5 bolt pattern is 5x5 right? and does weld make prostars in that pattern? Thanks lol

See if I can answer all these.

SBS-BBC, mounts are the same, been there done that 4-5 times now.

Auto-stick, ALL the peices meaning=stick column, pedals with linkage or hydro stuff, bellhousing if it's not on the tranny, if your truck is 4wd, front shaft should work, rear might need to be lengthened, crossmember, cut a hole for the shifter or if it's a 70s truck unbolt it and bolt in a stick hump.

What year is your truck?? What axle?? If the one in your sig, 12 bolt, think they are 30 spline but don't hold me to that. GM truck is 5x5.5", go to Summitracing.com, and search for your bolt pattern.

yes and you can still use your column

Sorry, haven't had anything 5 lug in years...haha.

You can use your auto column, just will have the base of the shifter to look at.
