I remember back in the 70’s the same problem was created by unibody construction. Enough so the frames and unibody tie kits were developed.

I’m doing a 66 c10 with a mild 454 w/m20 4 spd on as close as possible stock engine mounts . I’m not anticipating any frame problems. In all the web surfing regarding transplanting 454’s in 60/66 C10’s I’ve done , I’ve not heard one word regards frame problems
