What motor mounts and trans member to use on a 72 4x4 k5? What motor mounts do I need to use for a 72 4x4 k5 blazer? I have looked around and haven't found a company that makes the conversion for 4x4. And what do i need to do for the trans xmember?

well from what i have seen on 4x4 s-10's the problem on them usually lies with the oil pan clearing the pumpkin. but since this is a full size, if you have no clearance issues with your current engine and the drive line the motor mounts for the 2wd would work because the frame itself as far as the engine crossmember is the same on the 2wd and 4wd is it not?

I have a 72 suburban 4x4 and I'm installing a 6.0 lq9. I had to remove the engine cross member all together in order to get the motor to sit low enough to bolt to the tranny. I used the stock style mounts with adapter plates.
