That block has provisions to use the OE mounts, You just need them back on the frame.
Typical Chevy loving street rodders trick. MAkes it look OE that way you know.......

the new 64 motor mounts I have don't match up. The bolt spacing is 5 1/4" vs what I have.

It was rather strange on the mounts. The holes on the block are offset and the "adapter" that mounts to the block, which mounts to the motor mounts, all fits. I'm just not sure what they used in '76 for pads on the crossmember. The one's that I'm use to i.e. the '64/'65 type pad mounts will not work.

Anyone know how the crossmember pad mounts should look for '76? The engine is a Y4. Does Snyder have anyting that new in his inventory?

76 Mounts sit on top of the frame and are nothing like what's in the pre 70 cars. Try a set for a 65-69 and if they bolt and are close to located correctly weld the tabs on the front of the frame and be done with it.

Ron, look at my car it has new mounts on it nd you can replicate the Tabs easily.

BTW how is the sled coming?
