I have been looking at the conversion kits for our trucks using an alternator. The mounts they sell are all listed as being for a 216 235 engine. Will the mounts work on a GMC 228? I would think that they should, but thought I'd check here first.

1950 GMC 1/2 Ton Long Box

It is easy enough to make them fit if they don't fit directly.
