Are these 72 BBC engine mount towers??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have been following this thread on engine mount towers and I think I actually do have the 72 only BBC towers in my truck

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=189487

I posted some pics on that thread, but did not want to keep hijacking that thread, so here are pics of the engine mount towers in my 72.

Could someone please verify that these are actually the 72 only BBC engine mount towers? Or if they are the 73 up SBC towers like I always thought they were?

Yes those are 71-72 BB mounts

Thank you both so much!! I have no idea how I wound up with them in this truck, it's a factory SBC truck and has a SBC now.

Again thanks for the help!!

Pull them out, make butt loads of money and pick up a free or very cheap set of SBC mounts, walk away with smile and $2-300 in your pocket!

From the other side (73-87), they are definately NOT 73+ towers.

Thanks to all for the replies, just another quick question, I want to now get new polyurethane mounts for these stands. Can I use the regular BBC poly mounts on the small block?

Where can I get some?

Anyone know where I can get polyurethane mounts to fit the the 72 BBC engine towers? I would think they should work with a small block.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
