Default Big Block Motor mount question???

On my 68 Camaro the BB frame mounts are approx 2-5/8 wide the motor mounts are 2-3/8 wide and the application shows 68-70 but are not correct at all, When I did the conversion to BB on my 71 Nova I used 69 Camaro frame mounts and the same motor mounts I have now and worked great. Im sure someone has had this problem any clues on a correct motor mount?

For Big Blocks....1967-1968 Camaro and 1968 Nova are the same. 1969 Camaro and 1969-1970 Nova are the same.

I figured that out quite early but not finding a part number for the 68 mount that is correct, seems the 69-70 narrow style keeps coming up.

This might help. GM discontinued these a couple of years ago. I would check with your local GM dealer some one may have them on the shelf. I went through the same problem with my 68 L78 Nova.

Hope this helps!
Jason

Think I found it # 2285 for 67-8 and # 2283 Duralast DER and Anchor numbers most books show 2283 for 67-70 396 70 up 402 wich is incorrect.

Jason Thanks!! I just figured out the numbers the same time you were posting. #2285 is the correct replacement to the discontinued GM unit.

Default Re: Big Block Motor mount question???

hello
i am working on a 69 big block car.
the mounts on it that go on the frame are 941 and 942.
do they need to be 113 and 114 part numbers?
it might have had these since it was new.
any input on this?
what do the frame mounts in your photo go to? nova or camaro?
please let me know
thank you for your time
