I have a '72 C10 Pickup that currently has a 250 Inline 6 that i want to change to a 350. I would like to keep the 4 speed manual transmission that is in the truck and i was wondering if that bellhousing bolts right up to a 350? i heard somewhere that i can use the 6 cylinder mounts and use them to mount the V8 in the rearward position? is this true? and if it is, does the driveshaft length change? any information on this would be helpful, thanks
