i am trying to help a friend. he is putting a 350 into a 92 that had a v6. it seems the k bar or the steering control arm might be different. the steering column has two u jointed shaft. slide engine back too far and the mounts hit. too far forward and the headers hit the steering shaft.

so my question. is there a conversion for the steering shaft? is he trying the wrong mounts. is the k member different for for a 350?

ps i did read other forums where it says there are two sets of mounting bolt holes for the different positions( v6 or 350).

has anyone else had this problem.

additional info. i was able to look at the car for a min but had to leave town. he has the mounts from the car he pulled it out of.

 

The steering box and shaft position are the same on all third gens.

 

What did he get the engine out of?

 

Probably trying to use mounts and exhaust manifolds that aren't from another V8 third-gen. That won't work.

 

did he put v8 motor mounts on the k member and put them on the correct spot?

 

If he does that it will slip right on in there.

 

should as i think the block side of the mounts are the same for most 350s.

 

If you haven't already, take a look at the V6 to V8 swap sticky in the top section of this forum. There's a pic of the location of the motor mounts in the V8 position.
