Frame mounts?
 
I found out that motor mounts were possibly switched.I removed them and switched sides and it appears to be wrong.All holes line up but mounts seem to be hanging over crossmember excessively.These are sbc motor mounts in a 68 Firebird.Is it possible these are wrong mounts? Was old i need 68 Camaro mounts,but not sure if these are specifically for camaro as they were mounted to frame already when i got this car.Please look at pictures and tell me if anyone knows if this looks right an if it will work.Thanks,Randy.[img]http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/a.../family240.jpg[/img]http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/a.../family243.jpg

Mounts
 
Here is a photo of the motor mount in my 52 Chevy. It is a 69 Camaro subframe and it looks pretty much like your setup. So, we are either both right or both wrong. :oops:

If you click on it it will enlarge the photo.

Nope not right. Oh wait, you have a Chevy motor in a Pontiac? haha. My buddy's 68 Camaro looks like this, I would live with it.


Just wondering why you don't have a Pontiac motor in it?

Be nice when you get it done, but G.M. never put a Chevy motor in a Pontiac in 1968. Sorry about that, I'm just a big Pontiac fan.hotrod1024 wrote:
I am very aware gm never put a Chevy motor in a Pontiac.Ford didnt put Chevy motors in their cars either, but I see them all the time. My bird came with a Chevy motor when I got it,so I decided not to change a good thing.Especially when i dont have money to buy a Pontiac motor and trans back in it.I work with what I got,which seems fine to me.Im a Pontiac fan to,but also Chevy,so why not combine 2 things I like.LOL.Thanks for comments guys.
