So you are saying that it would be a simple swap?

[hotrod24]

Heres a pic of the mounts i have now...

Yes you have the same blocks so everything should work.  Just use the engine mounts from your old engine

Having the mounts on the motor is a plus, it should drop right in place unless you had a V8, in that case you will need to move the engine stand mounts to the I6 location.

[hotrod24]

I have a 250 inline 6 right now...

[Captkaos]

It should drop right in then.

[hotrod24]

Will the starter from my 80s motor bolt to the 67s block?

[hotrod24]

OK how do i make the 67s throttle linkage work on my 80? 

[zieg85]

Post a picture on how the 80 cable linkage looks...

[hotrod24]

Here ya go...

[zieg85]

How I would do it... obtain a V-8 throttle cable and bracket off a quadrajet and fabricate the mount to work. 

[hotrod24]

That sounds like a plane but i dont have a welder.  I just need this linkage to work for now because i am going to upgrade in the future. Here is some pics of what i should have...

[zieg85]

Any 250 I-6, 1973 on up until the integral head should be what you need...

[hotrod24]

Would that be better to just get the linkage i need or make my on?

[zieg85]

Depends on how comfortable you feel with making it work.  You don't want it to bind or stick so OEM is the "right" way to go.  If you plan on a SBC in the future you will at least have the right cable.  I wouldn't imagine it would take much to make it work right but the air cleaner housing has to clear as well.
