Engine Mounts for 68 Camaro
Changing the engine mounts from solid to poly.
Engine is a SBC 400. I think I have the frame stands for a 307/327, but not 100% sure...can anyone confirm.
I just want to be sure before ordering the mounts.
I didn't get the tape measure all the way to the edge in this picture. I think the frame mounts are 2.5" wide
I know I don't have the big block frame stands...both are the same size in my car.
It looks like I need these engine mounts:

Anyone here with a 400 block in their camaro that can confirm what I need?Dan

Yeah- I have a 400 in my 69. I'm using the same SBC mounts as the ones you're looking to get. Remember to change the trans mount to poly if it's not already.

I'm not sure what trans mount is in the car. I'll check on that. If they are solid mounts, is there a problem leaving them?

You want your motor and trans mounts to match. If the trans was solid and the motor was poly or rubber, the motor would be able to viberate and torque while the trans mount would have no flexability. Eventually something will likely crack or break, and that would ruin your day at the very least.
Spend the extra couple bucks and change your trans mount if you are unsure.
