Some one did some good work under the hood of this pig. For those unaware, this would be the Pontiac 350 in my '70 one ton Longhorn. The comparison pics are the proper chevy 350 in my '69 1/2 ton GMC.
The motor mount towers seem to hold the motor lower in the frame, which since the Pontiac has a higher deck height, this is a good thing. The towers are also longer...from front to back.
The Chevy engine is mounted in the 2 forwasd holes, while the Pontiac is taking the forward AND the rear hole.
Some one did there homework here.
Is there a chance that these towers are 4X4 towers? How about big block towers?
Here's the pics;
These are all driver side pics.
Here is the Longhorn...
same angle in the GMC....
See how low this tower seems to hold it...lower and further out.
