I intend to install it in either my 49' 1 ton or a 51' 3/4 ton.
:confused:

You might have to drill two holes in the front plate for the mount depending on what year motor you are using | | |

Just use your orig 216 b/house. You may have the two small mounts on front of your 56 engine, and not the one at bottom. You can still use one at bottom, but as said, may need to drill the holes for the bolts to mount orig type mount. The plate under timing cover is same, just no holes in later models. OR, can change whole plate between motors, much more bother, of course.
