I bolted the Pontiac engine's steel motor mount to the lower Chevy rubber mount and set the engine in the frame. I drilled holes where the metal bracket rested on the top of the frame rail and on the cross member. Thatsall it took to install the engine. The PS hoses bolted up and stock exhaust manifolds cleared. Everything else was minor.

Would you happen to have pics of the setup ? I can understand where
you are going .. just having trouble picturing it in my head..
So I would need the 80 Chev mounts .. the existing truck brackets and ???
Thanks again..
