Chevell motor mounts
 

Looking to put a BBC into a 66 chevelle that originally had a 283 sbc.Which set of frame mounts will work ?I am trying to keep the motor as low as I can in the chassis for hood clearance.Thanks for any input

run a chevelle BBC oil pan and drop it in, you don't have to change anything else

They show 2 different frame mounts in the Auslies catalog??Thats why I was curious

if it's like camaros (i don't know for sure on the chevelles), using the small block frame mounts put's the engine further back.
i never worried about it on mine as they were bracket cars (1 was a 64 wagon and THAT'S when i found out about the chevelle pans...
big car and pickup don't fit;)

Big Block frame mounts have a reinforcement rib around the front edge. Visually a little different but the small block ones will work.

i run the small block mounts, plus most performance header manufacturers design their headers around the small block mount/ big block combo. Lemons, hooker etc.
