He says its from a 67 El Camino (not sure),and it turns freely.My question is how are the side mounts installed? Front motor mount also? Will THIS engine fit in my truck without major mods...firewall..ect..Is this swap even doable?.1949 Chevy 1/2 ton.Thanks. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | Yes, it is doable provided you are changing out the rear to an open driveline and opting for a trans change too. Stovebolt Engine Co. among others sells mounts. www.stoveboltengineco.com

Yes i'm going to convert it to an open griveline with a TH350 auto.So this particular engine will drop in with the provided kit,now what about the front motor mount? Can I use the original one or do i need to fab one? If any of you 'Bolters can provide some pics of this conversion that would be great. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 662 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 662 | | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 34 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 34 | Very nice truck "chuckthetruck"...I see in your pics that you've done the 250.I can almost see the side mounts in the pics and understand the placement, as far as the front mount, what did you do? Did you fab a new motor mount plate? Thanks for the reply guys...i'm understanding now,and I think i'm going to pick up this engine since it's free..! Free is ALWAYS good! | | |
