Default Re: 1969 Camaro big block frame mounts?

I just put a big block in my '70 Nova a few weeks ago, using what are probably small block frame mounts. I have Hooker Super Comp 2 1/8" headers, and the only clearance problem was the shifter arm coming out of the automatic column. If you have tall valve covers with studs, your wiper motor may be in the way of removing them. I just took mine off since i don't drive in the rain anyway.
You can get the passenger side header in from the bottom with the motor in place easily, but you have to put the driver side header in with the motor. If you put the engine and trans in as an assembly, you'll probably have to get the engine roughly in place, and then put in whatever motor mounts you want to use, because it will probably be necessary to slide the engine and trans back into the tunnel - you can't raise the motor up high enough for the tabs on the motor mounts to clear the frame mounts.
I really like the way the engine sits in the subframe and engine bay with the frame mounts I have - it's as low as I would feel comfortable putting it, it's centered, it's level, and I like it. I can take pictures if you like.
