I posted this in the 60-65 section but thougt i would ask you guys too.

Hi, I was wondering if someone has used these 1963-72 CHEVY TRUCK BOLT IN SIDE MOTOR MOUNT BRACKETS #16396. They are from performanceonline.com. I was using the factory v8 mounts with the center bolt from the bottom but I am having clearance issues and cant get the cast iron exhaust mainfold to fit as the manifold is hitting the frame mount.

The price of these are 129.00 plus tax and shipping.

Maybe you have another suggestion to fix this?

do you have the correct manifolds?

I tried two different sets off of 454 trucks. The motor came from a 76 motor home. I have no idea which ones are the correct ones. My 1965 truck never came from the factory with a 454.

Hmmm, I was thinking small block. There's a hand full of guyshere who have done big block into 67's, which, like yoursm never had big blocks and also can have some frame clearance issues.
Good luck, here's a bump TTT for you
