I've always wanted to do this swap because I think a 500 inch Caddy motor would be great in a truck, especially if you pull a trailer.

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.
