Boxchev, yes those are sbc clamshell mounts bolted to frame with f-body mounts trimmed & spacered to engine. Keep in mind I did this before there were very many swap kits.I did notch for factory ac at crossmember & reboxed frame behind Idler.I later switched to sanden w brp kit, which probably didn,t need reboxing frame behind idler & less notch needed at crossmember. Could have been tighter if I,d made my own sanden ac mounts, which would have been easier with engine out of car.
I moved my ps pump down , relocated idler pulley & moved alternator up before even test fitting engine. I have a ps pump fitting & remote reservoir that I will soon use to lower alternator down for better symetry(cosmetics).Front of ls block & heads are flat & nearly flush ,much easier than older engines to make your own brackets.
PS, there are more engine pics in the photobucket link.I,m also collecting ss fastners to clean up this old install.
