I used 67 - 72 mounts on my 62 with a 63 x member.

Were those the v8 or inline 6 mounts? They are different on the 67-72s

Re: 60x frame motor mounts after cross member swap

On your 60-62 frame, you can use 67-72 V8 mounts.
Or if you use 63-66 mounts, you'll have to use a 1/2 inch spacer between the top rail of the frame to the underside of the top portion of the motor mount stand/perch.
Here's mine with 63-66 stands/perches.

Here's another post from another thread:

On my 61 I used the square body perches and cut them down and welded a plate on top.

I used the V8 mounts. I had the 63-66 mounts and had a block on the top of the frame rail but didn't like it. Capn fab suggested the 67 - 72 mounts and they worked out great.
