I6 250 swap to a V8 327 help

Your motor mount part number is 2282. That number should work in any part store you choose. The same mount fits I6 engines and small blocks. You can check it for yourself.

Rockauto has them for 3 dollars each.

Thanks for the info! I bought new rubbers to replace anyway but I had no idea that it bolted straight to the small block and not as an insert like with the I6.

It sounds like you have the idea. The six cylinder uses a steel bracket between the block and the rubber mount. The small block, bolts straight to the mount though. You can even reuse the three little bolts that held the rubber mount onto the six cylinder brackets to secure the mount to your small block.

I bought 2 step sides that had the small block mounted in the 6 cyl mount,s and it will work, but I found when I tried to flip the mounts in to the front holes they did not line up, I took a set off of an original small block and they bolted right up
