MOTOR MOUNTS - I6 to V8
Getting ready to change out the I6 to a 283 in my sons truck.
I've read that the motor mounts that are currently in the truck will work fine. Correct? My question is what mount do I need that attach the truck mounts to the mounts that actually attach to the motor? Also, are there any other issues that I will need to think about with this swap? I'm assuming that the drive shaft length may be an issue. Anything else? Thanks |

It depends what straight six it has, if it's a 230 then yes but if it's a 292 then you will need to change the passenger side mount

Any idea if the driveshaft will need to be shortened/lengthened? |

Re: MOTOR MOUNTS - I6 to V8
the bellhousing mounts in the same place so that means so does the trans.

Re: MOTOR MOUNTS - I6 to V8
The I6's have a bracket between the engine mount and the block. Remove those and bolt the engine mounts directly to the small block. It is all very simple.

If you are asking which rubberized mount to use, I used
Auto Extra 2282. Cal. |
