Check the "V8 Forum", been done before....................

Bein a 4X4, I'd say your biggest problem will be transfer case........

GOOD LUCK & keep us posted!

not a big deal if you can weld.tack weld the bottom half in with the engine and tranny where you want them . remove the engine and tranny and weld them in the rest of the way.

you have 2 pieces on a chevy. the steel "clamshell" and the rubber part that bolts to the frame. it is a rubber bushing wrapped in steel with bolt holes to bolt it to the frame.
