V8 Swap, questions !?!?!

[HzEmall Regal]

Guys, I need a little help here.

I have a 86 Regal with a non turbo V6 in it. I also have the 200 tranny in it.

I am going to put a Chev 350 crate motor into it and I need some info.

Which engine mounts do I need ? Is there a difference between a Monte V8 mount and a Buick V8 mount ?

Also, will the tranny and drive shaft location be ok ? some one told me that the tranny and drive shaft are in the same location for the V8 and the V6.

Anything else you have to offer me for advice on this would be great.

I'm going to post this in one other section of this site just in case.

Thank you very much.

You can use any SBC mount and bracket(pad) from any GM G-body(MC,ElCam) any 82-92 F-body or any 77-90 GM B-body(Carice,Impala). Check to see if you trans has a dual bolt pattern for both BOP and Chevy. Keep the trans in its present location and the holes for the motormounts are already in the front crossmember so everything will bolt up without any problems.
