What engine mounts: Same as the 283 front mount to cross member.
Others can be used but that would require making holes or welding.
What radiator shroud: Original 283 can be cut down or there were original thinner ones fan should be half in and half out of the shroud.
Exhaust manifolds: I have read that folks have ground and tig welded a manifold with success.

I just paged through all the pictures on our '48 build. I'm not a fan of the chopped top, but I have to give you props for your fabrication skills. You do beautiful work!! Nice job.
Thanks

Yes and no. I'm working on a 58 Suburban. Not really a build, more of a freshening up. I was able to get a nice original/complete truck with very little rust. Problem is that it's in storage in a cave in Kansas City and I'm stationed in Kuwait for 2 years. I'll pick back up when I get back to the states.
Thanks
Larry
