In order to change them out the front coil springs have to come out to access the bolts that bolt them in. They are completely different than the stock v6 mounts. If you are contemplating an engine swap, what's the problem with changing mounts? It's no big deal. Stick with a carburated engine and you won't have to deal with fabbing a return line for a fuel injected system or the expense of an electric pump. Ask me how I know...:texas: Tuggy24g 09-23-2009, 06:38 AM The easiest I think would be any small block engine like a 305 (Don't use), 350, or a 400. Any of these should fit just right, but just remember some parts you will have to upgrade like the fuel line and thing of that nature. Some parts are made for a v6 and would need to be upgraded once you got a v8 | ||
