I got a 521 truck that the previous owner had swapped out the stock engine to a L20b, he also hacked up the mounting brackets on the frame and put some homemade crap in that didn't even bolt the engine to the frame, so now I'm trying to figure out my options. I think I should start by bolting on the stock L20b mounts, then fabricating the frame brackets to fit the mounts. So my question(s) is/are; Is there a ready made procedure for putting a L20b into a 521 (specifically the motor mounts) and is there some bottom clearance (oil pan) or top clearance (bell housing to the cab) that I need to be extra careful with??
