Re: 1960 BBC Swap
I do not know of any simply solution for engine mounts to install a big block into a '60-'62 frame. Are you trying to stay with a crossmember mounted bellhousing? If so, you will have to modify the firewall. If you cut the bellhousing crossmember out and go with a rear trans crossmember, you can move the engine forward to clear the firewall. You will have to fabricate a trans crossmember to fit into the X member. You might try using the '67-'72 small block engine mount brackets as I recommend for small blocks, but keep in mind that those engine mounts are not strong at all. The '73+ engine mounts are far superior but you will have to do some cutting and welding to make those work.
