You will need side engine mounts. Engine will fit fine. If you don't want to change trans mount you could use a bell housing from a 55-59 truck, they have the side mounts. You could make a front engine mount for the 250 if you want. When I did mine I used a 1979 250, and 1957 truck bell housing, trans and rear, open drive line. Worked good until I went to a 350 then I updated everything.
