    Big block or Small block chevy motor mounts

     



    I have an American Rails 32 frame. The car now has a 350 Chevy small block in it. IF I move up to a big block, I thought the moutor mounts and location of them would be the same as well as the transmission mounts. I just talked with Pete and Jakes and they think the big block motor mount locations would be different......

    Can you guys help clear it up for me? I was told, I think on this forum that if I Pulled the small block 350 and put in a Chevy big block that the motor mounts and tranny mounts would all bolt right back up........

    ............. and clearance at the firewall and trans tunnel. The BBC is also 2 inches wider I believe.
