==Engine mounting== When bolting these engines into most any application, use the stock-type Cadillac Eldorado engine mounts, oil pan and associated pickup tube. Fabricate a set of 3/8 inch thick plates to be bolted between the crossmember. The big Cad has the mount bolts 3-1/2 inches ahead of where the Chevy mounts are when measuring from the stock Chevy engine to transmission bellhousing mating surface. For a 4x4 truck, the engine usually fits well by using crossmember and frame rail notches to clear the oil pump. If the truck originally used a TH350 transmission, the crossmember needs to go back about 3 inches and custom drive shafts will needed. These should use the larger 1 ton U-joints for added durability.
