hello I am planning a swap installing a 292 in the place of a 230, here is the 292 engine with a mount parts I can't ID,

I picked these towers up Sat.

The brackets on the engine are for a '73-'87 truck. You will need to replace those with the correct brackets for a '63-'72 292 if you are to use those motor mount brackets you have. The other option would be to find the frame side engine mount brackets for a '73-'87 C20 or C30 with a 292. Those will fit the early frames pretty close.

Thanks John being its going in a 63 I guess I better hunt up the rest,, do you know if the parts that mount to the engine are different than those on the 230?

I can't say for sure but I think the 292 uses different brackets on the block. I'm not that familiar with the I6's. You might need to ask a question here specifically about that for a definitive answer.
