The Fatman's replacement crossmember is usually where the motor mounts will go, if you have a motor that doesn't use side-mount motor mounts, you will have to switch.
Not sure if this answers your question or not...

It can only be mounted from the front and rear of the engine. I would have to agree, you may go with an other engine or make sure you get a IFS that doesn't require to cut the front mounting cross member if you decide to keep your current engine. Do you have any pics of your 51 GMC? Bread Update

I know that my IFS kit will work with the original I6. https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=790465&page=1
