Does the V8 bolt right in by just moving the engine mounts back? Anyone know if the holes are already in the frame from the factory?
I am running the original tranny with the three on the tree.
Please bear with me as this is my first project.
Any help would be appreciated. | | |

The guy gave me the mounts that go with the 350 engine.
Thanks again,
