Putting a 5.3 in a 1969 Nova. I have sbc frame stands. What motor mounts have you guys used and how have they worked?

I used 1" Set Back (Edelbrock Clone's as I am using Edelbrock Headers). Minor Frame stand relocation and all was good.

oops I was not clear. I have the adapter plates. I am using Dirty Dirty double d.

I need the motor mount. I realize there are "short and wide" and "tall and narrow" types. It seems like short and wide would work best to keep the engine lower. I had a set of these for a sbc swap but I lost them. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PTP-7-504-BL/

Prothane makes a nice mount, much nicer than the energy suspension or a stock rubber mount

Anyone with input as to weather I need "short and wide" or "tall and narrow?"

Short & wide will fit the bill. S & W work with SBC.
It's what I'm using for the 5.7 LS1.
If I remember correctly, tall & narrow accommodate a different balancer on the 302 SBC.
There are threads (LSX Swap Faqs & Hall of Fame Threads) in the stickies, at the top of the Conversion section, which talk about engine stands.

You can also mix and match the Mounts and frame stands to get different heights. I used S/W frame Stands and T/N mounts. By doing that, I gained about 1/2" in height. This helped me cause I needed to raised the engine for clearance issue with the crossmember, pan, steering pump/pulley and steering rod ends.

But you will have to mode the frame stands some. I narrowed the frame stands to accept the T/N mounts, I also narrowed them an extra 1/2" to be able to use spacer to jack the engine back or forward to center it where I needed it due to the steering box/pulley.
