It,s a great way to go. I,ve done several of them. If you are not going to put an automatic or power steering use the original type front engine mount kit. It keeps the original cool look. You can get an original throttle kit from the specialty suppliers or you can get a Lokar or possibly use a hanging pedal & cable from a 73 up truck. The v-8 is lighter then the old 6 & the weight is further back. It makes the truck steer easier & drive better.
