I just read a posting about BB frame mounts. Ithought that the frame mounts for a small block and BB where the same. At least it implies this in the Tech. Note on Engine Swaps. Can someone please set me straight on this, as I will be dumping a 468 into a former SM car soon.

What year of Chevelle/Malibu are you working with?

I have a '67 that currently has a 350/PG combo. I am planning a blown 468/400 for next years NMCA racres here in the West, I will also cruise the car so I have to do some solid planning before I start.

the small block frame mounts will work, just use the motor mounts you have on the small block with the big block..

See my post to masterwoo.

I guess I should clarify. There is more than one motor mount design for the mid 60's stuff. Big block mounts were somewhat different, but the replacement units you can buy will work for both.

We used 350 frame mounts from a '72 Chevelle in a '69 along with '69 big block engine mounts to install a 454. Fit like a glove.
