Just did mine on a 74 4x2 though and all I can say is you will need the 351m/400 perches. I had the 390 perches and it sat about 3 inches too far to the front and had tranny bolt up issues on the cross member. Used the other perches (351m/400) and it all came together. I also used the 302 truck motor mounts on the 351c. Went to autozone and asked for motor mounts for a 78 or so with a 302 and they did fit. Hope this helps some.
