Re: SBC -S10 Motor mount Question

get a block off plate and use an electric pump. if that doesnt sound appealing you may need to cut a hole in the frame for the mechanical pump.

a v8 needs moved back about 4" from the stock s10 location of the v6, some guys use s10 v8 swap mounts and turn them around but for 10 bucks you can get some 70s chevelle engine side motor mounts at the parts store, and for another 10 you can get some pipe and steel to make your own frame side to match up to the engine side.

the mounts you make need to be about 16.25" apart on center, and be sure to offset the engine slightly to the passenger side for steering shaft clearance. the trans mount will move back about 7" from the stock s10 location, so if you move the trans mount back first you can hang the engine in the space and make mounts that fit. skymangs thread is a great tutorial.

if you are looking for a tab a slot b solution you may not find a set of mounts that will just bolt (or weld) in the right spot. there are a lot of variables, like how high you mount the engine, how high you mount the cab, etc.

good luck!
