The '56 has side mounts right in the frontsides of the block and the '54 motor mounts in the front cross-member, in the timing case cover..will it be possible to mount this engine in my truck?..I'm thinking I can drill the front cross-member and make this work.....Oh...I am new to the forum...from Way down in southeast Alabama
