I think it could be made to fit. cap vent hole, modify mount at dash end, hole in floor and side of body mount for cable. Replacement body mounts have this hole. I thought about this for my extended cab but did not do.

Re: A few questions...
I would go with the 6 over a 289, power should be about the same. A 4 barrel and headers would look cool.

I have heard a rumor that 429-460 valve cover will fit. Don't really belive it, anybody ever heard this? Would make engine look better.
