motor mount question

greg fulk · 07-15-2010, 12:10 PM

are the frame mounts on a 6cyl the same as a small block on 69 nova?

Can't remember exactly but I think they are the same stands with engine mounts on engine being different and same stands on frame.I think 6 & small block were the same and big block stands different.

Greg,

As I remember the frame brackets were different, because of the the way the six sat in the chassis, versus the V-8. I believe the V-8's all used the same frame bracket, Group 0.029.

I had to change out the frame mounts (stands) on my '71 when I went from the 6 banger to a SBC.

The frame mounts are the same as 1st gen Camaro, but I cant recall L6 frame brackets being the same or not, and parts houses are not listing them separately... My 68 had a straight 6 when got it, but we changed that out in 1987 and I cant remember that far back.

usta be the big trick was to use small block frame mounts with a big block (set the engine back a bit) but i cant tell ya as far as the 6 vs 8 frame mounts.
i got a pair of V8 ones if you need 'em....
