Interesting I just put an engine in last weekend and had some problems. Two sets of engine mounts one from NAPA and one from Autozone, different heights on them, both were supposed to be for a 350 with 350 frame mounts. The one set was not wide enough I guess.

You can't use just any FRAME mount such as a 69 in a 67 chassis. The aftermarket has readily available for the 66-67 chassis, 68-70 use different frame mounts. Engine mounts with the locking tabs are compatible, however.

Just the info I'm looking for. Thanks! With that in mind, does anybody on the list have a 69-up set they want to sell? Name your price and we'll see what we can arrange. Thanks, Dave.
