1972 BBC vs SBC Mounts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a big block engine and am pretty sure this is a big block mount...my question is...what year are my frame towers? What's the difference between 71 and 72 BBC towers? For that matter, what's different about SBC towers? Pictures would be endlessly useful...

What I have...

I asked the same thing a while back. This thread has photos of 72 only BBC towers.

So from the looks of the 72 picture I assume mine are 67-71 BBC mounts?

A good sticky thread on this would be very useful for all!

Here is a SBC mount...

can you use your small block mounts for a big block? I read somewhere on here that a member just stayed with there sbc mounts instead of swapping them out.

Quick question...do the 1972 BBC towers use the 73-87 style mounts?

dos0711 · 03-29-2011, 07:52 AM

Well, after much wrangling, Apparently I don't have the right clam shells...frustrated, I've ordered the tubular kit with everything to just drop the damn thing in. I'll have some 67-71 and 72 towers for sale soon...LOL
