bigskiohio · 04-10-2004, 11:26 PM

72 look like newer clamshell mounts and towers, but are different
slightly on the mounts.

The 72 mounts look just like the 73-87 small and big block mounts with only slight differences.

Yours are the 73-87 type. They will still work but you will have to drill a hole for the rear bolt on the top of the frame. Other than that, they will be the same. They will use the rubber mount for a 73-87 instead of a 72 (slightly different). I had a set of them I was going to use and then bought a frame with the 72 mounts already in it. If you're not worried about it being year-correct, then use those ones. They are worth about $35-45 to resell. The 72 mounts are more like $100, so you are saving money this way and have the same type mount.

If you want, I can sandblast and powder coat them chassis black for a very good price for you.
