The 72 style Big Block Towers are not available from GM any more and haven't been for years. The 68-71 are readily available though. They are I believe $86.00 per side from GM, last time I checked, with the 3 piece motor mounts at about $127.00 per side. The 72 style motor mounts (clam shell) are one heck of a lot easier to use and are heck of a lot stronger, with the single piece motor mount it uses available at any parts store for about $12.00. So they make economic sence also. I have installed Big Blocks in 67 trucks with the 72 towers and once I made the alterations needed to the chasses, the engine went in like it was born there. I have also mounted Big Blocks on to the 68-71 towers and cussed them the whole way... That was almost as bad as installing a Big Block into my 4x4 Blazer. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com
