motor mounts
 

can i use the factory mounting brakets that came off my 77 chevy on my 62 or do i have to order after market ones? by the way im going to run a 454 if that matters.

Yes you can use the '77 motor mounts and brackets. However on the frame brackets you will need to add a spacer on top of the frame since the '62 frames are shorter than the '77 frames.

ok thanks. will my trans clear the fire wall with the motor sitting up that high?

Re: motor mounts
 

it depends on which trans that you are using and which centre hump that you have

im not sure what trans yet. im just buying one thing at a time and im trying to get the body put back together.

The spacers don't really move the engine up very much if at all. It is more so compensating for the difference in the frames, like I mentioned. You did convert to the '73-'87 front crossmember and suspension didn't you?
