    im looking for info on putting a sbf into my 91 reg cab. my mains questions are..

    - where can i find the motor mounts? (if available)
    - will the rear end of our trucks stand up to the power/torque from a relatively stock 302?

    ok, theres not that many questions lol, but ive searched and couldnt find exact answers. im sure there more info im missing. but yea... any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm sure the motor mounts exist, but I don't know much about it. If not, I would be willing to prototype a set, and build a fixture. I have everything needed to mock it up.

    The 7.5" axle will very likely hold up to a stock 302. The 8" V6 axles will have a better chance, but either should be fine.
