FYI: V-8 engine stands... Know em - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**too much stuff** · 12-28-2010, 08:00 PM

Been meaning to do this for awhile. Notice on the 72 and 73 stands the upper bolt locations and a single "bump" on the 72 and 2 "bumps" on the 73 and ups. If anyone wants to add the 6 cyl stands or any other info, please do. Enjoy.

Eric brought this to the top to clear up a pair of '72 Big-Block mounts I posted in the classifieds yesterday- Thanks Eric!

**too much stuff** · 01-25-2011, 09:07 PM

Glad to help jim.
Glad people are using this for reference, that is what it is here for...

Might be a good idea to have the mods move this thread to the FAQ. I know I'd like it there to reference it when I need it.

Here are some pictures I took awhile back to clear up some confusion folks have with the difference between I6 and small block mounts.

**'70_402** · 01-26-2011, 09:32 AM

just a little more tid bit of fyi.. you can put a small block on big block stands... i didn't think it was possible but we did it a while back with a buddy's truck.

no moa · 01-26-2011, 09:56 AM

So why are the sb and bb ones different?

Eric,... I have a 68 GMC lwb frame that I believe originally had a V-6 in it.
These frame stands look a little different than all of the above mounts.
(I'll get pics tonight)
Can you verify that these are indeed, a different mount?

cadillacart · 01-26-2011, 11:33 AM

I heard that the BB stands were pretty hard to find and/or expensive.

Both.
The way I understand it,... the 68-71 Big Block frame stands are cheap(er) and the actual motor mount is expensive.

And the '72 Big Block frame stands are expensive,... and the motor mounts are cheap(er).

So I think it's a wash on pricing.

Usually there is a few sets for sale here on the board in the 67-72 Classifieds Section.

The big block ones have a dip in the top by the frame rail to clear the big block exhaust manifolds...
