The pics on the motor mounts are very helpful. You've gotta love GM and the way they make most of their interchangeable. Definately can't say that about Fords.....You had better know the MONTH your vehicle was made when you go to the parts store. Example: They made a 351 Cleveland, a 351 Windsor, and a 351M, and very few of the parts interchange between them.

That's why I have always owned GM trucks.
you're not kidding about the ford stuff. i've always had chevy stuff and a couple of years ago i decided i wanted something different and bought some ford stuff and you really have to know what you have and what it will match up with because their products aren't user friendly. i still want something different, that's why i'm thinking about the caddy motor in my chevy truck. ya are giving me alot of good info.
