I got this off a Google search - as usual, it does not put the matter to
rest...
THE Chevelle ONLINE INTERCHANGE MANUAL: CHASSIS SECTION
ENGINE MOUNTING (Chevrolet V8)
It is important that the frame mounts that secure the engine should match
the motor used, and this is important in which certain components like
header clearance and clutch linkage angles are maintained. The part numbers
that I have listed for Chevrolet engines are discontinued by GM, but the
only way is to find a set that are either NOS or as a reproduction.
*There are two frame mounts that are common with the Chevelle, and the
Chevrolet part numbers cover both the 1964-67 and 1968-72 vehicles. P/N
3872815/3872816 fits 1964-67 Chevelles with big blocks, and the small block
counterparts are P/N 3840715/3840716.
Not much is known about the mounting hardware, since the part #s were
abstracted from Super Chevy magazine.
*1968-72 frame mounts use two different mounts to mount the V8, and the most
common mount that is used are P/N 3980711 and 3980712. 307-powered cars used
frame mounts 3980707 and 3980708.
The 307 frame towers, P/Ns 3980707 and 3980708, are taller and wider than
the non-307 frame towers, P/Ns 3980711 and 3980712. The non-307 frame
towers locate the engine a 1/2" lower in the engine bay. The engine
cushions are specific to the frame mounts listed above.
The only completion of mounting a Chevrolet engine into any A-bodied car
will require the correct engine cushions, and aftermarket companies like TRW
will manufacture the OEM style cushions, or the solid mounting hardware
available from Moroso will fit in place of the rubber cushions, but this
will wreak havoc on certain components like trannies and the driveshaft.
