Hey all,

I need to find a set of engine mount towers... putting a big block where a small block used to be. I would prefer the 68-71 style, but will consider the 72 style as well. Let me know what you have and how much.

Thanks

John

I'm just jumping in too, but I'm just curious, what's the difference between the 68-71 BB towers and the SB towers?
I think the 72 BB towers use the newer style 73-up clamshell type engine mounts? But what's the difference in the 68-71 towers?
Anybody got pics?

Hey thanks ratrod! Looks like the 68-71 towers are taller, (motor sits higher), than the SB ones. Correct?
Or is it just more clearance for the exhaust manifolds?
