My son and I pulled the V8 out of a wrecked truck last weekend but we haven't made much more progress since. When we pulled the V8 we took everything from the frame in the way of mounts, but they don't seem to be much like the mounts that are currently on the truck. I had always heard that the mounts that are curently in the truck would also accept a V8, but I don't see how. Any ideas? | | |
