Buy engine mounts for a '64 326 Lemans or '64 389 GTO. Actually the '64 -'72 A-body V8 Pontiacs all use the same engine mounts, except for the odd-ball 455 mounts which you don't need to install a 455 in one of these cars.

I know this only because I have two 1964 Pontiac A-bodies (a GTO and a Tempest) and both have 455s swapped in.
