Default What motor mounts to use on a mustang 2 subframe?

I have a 1962 Nova. I have installed a mustang 2 sub frame. Plan on putting a 5.3 vortec engine in it. Need to know what motor mounts to use?

Does the MII subframe already have Chevrolet style frame stands? Picture?

just bolt your 5.3 mounts on the motor and weld some mounts to the frame to connect them. or bolt on some setback LS plates + gen1 mounts, then weld to connect them.


here are some pics my buddy just posted on his Nova

There's no reason to go with Gen I mounts; use the 98-02 Camaro mounts bolted to the engine block like Turbo said. They have all the positives of 75-03 Gen I mounts. (74-down mounts are retarded.)
