Motor mounts for Big block 65 c10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Where can I find motor mounts for this application. I have read that it will be easier to move the engine forward.

I used a set of 67-71 BBC mounts I got on Ebay. They bolt in the factory location on our trucks. But a BBC is too close to the firewall there.
I've seen guys rework the firewall for for clearance, but on mine I moved the mounts about 3 inches forward to gain clearance for the valve covers and distributor.

I used 73+ 1/2 ton mounts which center the engine between to the 2 factory positions. I ran stock valve covers and they fit with NO firewall hacking. Front clearance is a little tighter but workable.....2 header options depending on your clearance needs. Mine is running and driving, too. Check link in my sig.

Thanks alot guys. I read up on them and I'm sure i will have a few more questions like the headers. I want it to be as easy as possible. I think the electric fan should help with front clearance. HOPEFULLY!

My 454 is mounted on the forward frame holes with HEI dizzy, I used 71 towers/mounts/headers, plenty of frame clearance; short water pump gives plenty of front clearance with a fan. I did have to use a Groves components power steering pump mount.
I've heard 73-87 mounts/headers work well also.

The '73-'87 C20 frame brackets fit these older frames better than the C10 versions. On my Suburban I made my own frame brackets that moved the engine forward about 2 inches since I wanted to run my M/T valve covers. I used the '73-'87 headers also.

Here ya go.......perches, frame brackets, sometimes also called motor mounts..... they stradle the frame to the crossmember and the rubber bolts to the perch. These are 73+ 1/2 tons.
