Re: 82 front suspension on a 66 questions

My question is what to do with the motor mounts? the 66 was a 6 cyl and will now be a 350. the motor mounts off the 82 do not fit the two top bolt holes of the 66 frame. Where do I go from here?
Did you try to re-use the mm's/towers that were w/the 66 x-member? You might just need to re-drill the holes in the x-member part??

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
