Yes, it is still in place and the motor is on a stand in front of the truck now. The mounts were missing when we got it. Would the original v6 mount work?(wrecking yard item?)
Don't think the original V6 mounts are the way to go now. I have given you an answer about motor mounts. (side mounts). Please always answer all questions so we can get your questions answered.
Question from above:
3. Are you talking power disc brakes in front?
Re trans: The SM420 is cantilever mounted to the bell housing. Fits all Chevy bell housings. You will need a "truck" bell housing with the side mounts for your 350. Your cross member has the provision for that mounting method, a mock up will tell if the new combo will land on the crossmember or will need modified. Probably will be OK. You probably have an hydraulic clutch, you will have to arrange for that or switch to mechanical. Be careful with bell housings. GMC 305 V6 won't work and I think 62 or older Chevy won't work.
The mounting brackets you show for motor are not what the usual perches look like. Don't see what good they would be. Perch idea is out anyway.
Nice to see you are keeping up with your post. Most new guys don't do that. I asume they ask the questions in 6 different forums and when they get an answer, they abandon the others. Then we start talking to ourselves for two weeks
FYI It is very difficult to get power disc to the K models and bit of trouble to get Power steering. The closed knuckle front axle is old technology and has sealing issues. Soooooooooooo..... a way to get open knuckle, power steering, power disc brakes, better bearings is to swap the whole front axle, provided you can match the ratio, to a 70's or 80's 4x4 front axle. That needs to be on a different post. Motor mounting on this post and steering/brakes on another.
60's GMC used the Dana 44 diffs, they are very good diffs. Nothing wrong with front drum brakes.
