The motor mounts are staggered on a 292 and on the sides. There are lots of little issues like hose sizes, etc but they atre no really a big deal. The archives have a lot of info on changing out smaller truck engines of prewar chassis and most of that will apply to your truck too I think. Good advice from many folks in here. Stay tuned as they say in radio. | | |
