Did you new motor bolt right up to the old motor mounts? Or did you to move some stuff? I'm looking for a new motor and have my eye on the 383 GM Stroker motor. Any insight on the install would help me.

No substitute for cubic inches. It's all relative to how much you want to spend on it.

Unless you have a inline 6, just use the motor mounts off your current engine. But I would replace them with new one's that way you have sound of mind that they aren't going to fail anytime soon. If you have a inline 6, you will have to change out the engine stands to V-8 engine stands, and move them up one corresponding bolt hole. Then all you have to do is get motor mounts that fit the V-8.
