Those "universal" cross-over mounts for most vehicles should stillwork on big trucks. Are you wanting to use orig 4spd? If you get the b/house from mid/late 50s V-8's they have mount ears on them to use orig x=over at trans. Otherwise you'll need to find/make a rear crossmember and trans mount so you have a 3pt mount configuration. Two on engine on sides and one in back at trans tail. If you use the orig trans, could keep park brake on it too. Driveshaft same length that way. If you go with auto trans, same deal for mounts, would need to use bigge units out of 3/4 or 1-ton trucks and need the yoke too to build a front drive shaft length. Your radiator may work for the eight as is. Fan shroud may be needed and spacer on fan hub to get it out to rad area as V-8 sets back farther than sixes did. Don't forget a vacumm fitting to the hydro-brake set-up!
