No frame mounted engine mounts. I looked at the side mount holes and one of them is partially blocked by the headers.

i remember when I got this project after dealing with a 50 Dodge that was a mess to modify I thought....woohoooo, small block chevy, this will be like playing with Legos.....unbolt here, bolt up here, order this, scrapyard that.......easy........GRRRRRRR... even the basic things are kicking my butt!
if you are going to upgrade to disc brake and upgrade your frt end, that may be the time to do it. here is a link that may help you sort it out. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=369663
