What are my engine mount options for a Chevy Small Block V8?
(also see question 2.15 for more information) If you want factory pieces, get them from an original V8 car. All factory V8s in the H-bodies were Chevy Small Blocks of various displacements, so the mounts are the same. Be sure to get the mounts (including the pieces that attach to the subframe), the transmission crossmember, and even the driveshaft and torque arm. Part numbers: • Group 0.027, MOUNT, Engine, LH 360309 • Group 0.027, MOUNT, Engine, RH 356334 • Group 0.029, SUPPORT, Engine Mounting, LH 1744023 • Group 0.029, SUPPORT, Engine Mounting, RH 20180186 The mounts will bolt into any Monza/Starfire/Sunbird/Skyhawk without modification. However, for the Vega and Astre, they will only bolt in after the old “outer” frame mounts have been removed and you have created a place for the mounts to bolt in. This requires drilling or grinding out spot welds and possibly a BFH (big hammer) to knock the mounts off the frame due to a hidden spot weld. Then obtain 3/8ths-16 nuts. Grind the corner
