On my boat, the rear motor mount to stringer holes lined up, from olds to chev., front was different (longer/shorter?) don't remember. Everything from the driveshaft forward is different. carb. and alt. is about all that fits. Try to find a complete BBC w/ 4pt mounts and feet, big oil pan (jet) and logs or headers, etc.

Good luck
Daniel

Im planning on taking the olds out and selling it or trading it for a bbc. my motor is fresh only about 30 hours on it since complete rebuild. just looking for more speed.

I have a full set of four point mounts with feet and the pto should be laying around somewhere too. Also have a starter.
