Sure, just use motormounts from a 289. Easy swap, will need a bellhousing for a small block too.

your also going to want to change out all the suspension, the 6cyl. stuff just isnt strong enough, and will rub on every bump you hit and its not to safe some off the parts arnt as strong as the v8 parts
ive done this conversion before and if you need any help just let me know:mick:

And your exhaust needs to be changed, go with some long tubes and a crossover

I can get you a Great deal on some Heidts Suspension stuff. That way you can be coil over with disk brakes and get rid of those shock towers.

lmk if interested.

Also, I have some stock 289 suspension stuff too.
