RE: [Chevelle-list] Fram Mounts

[Herb Lumpp]

I've seen this discussion numerous times before, but now I have to ask...  Why does a 307 use unique frame mounts?   Externally, a small block Chevy is a small block Chevy.  I've swapped numerous engines over the years, the only time I've had to change the frame mounts was when I put a V8 where a 6 was.  With that said, my El is the only A-body I've owned, most of my cars prior to this were either Camaros or Corvettes and I never had to change frame mounts (except for the 6 to V8 swap).  Is the frame mount an A-body only issue?   Just curious, thanks.
