Default 69 Chevelle SS396 Motor Mounts

I'm checking into motor mounts for my 69 Post Sedan, and apparently there are two different ones used in big block Chevelles over the years. There is one style known as 'short and wide' and another known as 'tall and narrow'. Anyone know which style a 69 SS396 Chevelle is supposed to have?

If you have the correct frame brackets for a '69 use the tall and narrow. Short and wide will fit loosely on the brackets, the engine will be positioned too low. Usually produces clutch chatter.

Same as a '69 Camaro. Two different small-block frame brackets were used in production: 302/350 and 307/327. Each has a specific motor mount. '69 big block brackets are not the same as '67-'68 for the same reason.
