I put a Pontiac V8 into a 1961 Chevy PU using 1973 up parts . There are 2 Z shaped brackets that go from the top of the frame to the cross member. The frame section of the motor mounts are mounted to them. I used the frame section of the Chevy motor mounts and the engine section of a late 1970's Full size Pontiac mounts. They bolted right together. If they don't locate the engine correctly you can either move the Z brackets on the frame or move the Chevy mounts on the bracket. If you are lucky your transmission has dual bolt patterns. If not you will either need to get a T350 with the BOP bolt pattern or a trans adapter. If your PS pump fits the Pontiac bracket use it or if not just get a Pontiac pump. If you are going to keep your AC use your compressor with Pontiac brackets. You will need to either make AC hoses or find something close. The fuel line will be on the wrong side so just extend it. Use a Pontiac HEI distributor. Your wiring may have to be lengthened/shortened but all the connections should be the same. You will probably be able to use 1960's "A" body exhaust manifolds. Good Luck!
