351C bellhousing question

Would a 1972 Cleveland fit a C6 with a small block bolt pattern?
The reason I ask is because I have a chance to buy a 1972 LTD with a 351C but I recently put a rebuilt C6 in my truck.

Also what kind of motor mounts could I use to put a 351C in my truck?

thanks.

Read above thread please. The 351c is a poor candidate for a truck motor.

yes, a cleveland will mate to a baby C6. as far as mounts go, the clevo block will use the same mounts as a 289, 302, 5.0, 351W. so if you have or can round up the mounts and pads for any of those engines, you're in! make sure your flexplate is a 28oz imbalance, the late model 5.0's and W's went to a 50oz imbalance. not sure what year?

As long as it is a 2V Cleveland with a stock cam he may get away with it. No worse than a wheezer at that point.
