Unplanned engine/tranny swap - help?
So... I let my friend borrow my 1965 GMC 1-ton flatbed (305V6).
He called yesterday nearly crying. Apparently ran it out of oil. So... a SBC/700R I have is what I intend to swap in. I did a brief search here on the swap and found some info on a 67 swap. Are the motor mounts the same? Available here? THANKS!

Re: Unplanned engine/tranny swap - help?
You planning on using the truck as a 1 ton? Reason I ask is that might consider the 700R4. If you are looking for OD try a 4l80e. Use harness from a 90-93 diesel.

Re: Unplanned engine/tranny swap - help?
It is just a driver now, no longer a 'work' truck. It might haul some beer but nothing heavier. I have a 700R but I think a friend has a 4L...

Re: Unplanned engine/tranny swap - help?
Are the motor mounts the same for 65 and 67 or are you asking are they the same for V6 and V8? Not that I can say for sure either way. But,I do know the frame stands are different between V6 and V8

Asking if the V8 swap is the same for my 65 as in the 67 that I found info about.
I believe I can find a factory trans crossmember from 63-87 and move it back on the frame, drill it, and bolt it in.
