Ok,I found this by doing a search on Team Chevelle. Tom Parsons aka DZAUTO knows his stuff. Read what he had to say. http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121179&highlight=motor+mounts Clint Hooper H&H Custom,owner 1969 El Camino ProTourer 2001 H-D FLHR custom bagger http://dalesplace.com/misc/friends/clint/clint_hooper.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Clint Hooper Probably not,Doug. My guess is that a 307 uses a different motor mount than the other small blocks. Why else would the frame mounts be different?

The big block mounts are just that much taller.  The 327 has a special pair of frame mounts while the 350 and up use the same ones, pretty sure that’s how it works out. -RJ   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Shouse   When I installed my big block, I had to buy a set up upper engine mounts. I bought a big block set, then discovered that the ones I got did not couple correctly with the chassis mounts. The upper mounts were too big. I tool one of the chassis mounts off and took it to a local parts store. We discovered the engine mounts that fit my chassis mount was identified to fit a 327. I guess the previous owner must have installed a small block at one time or another. Remembering a thread on the list where people said both will work, except the engine would sit a bit lower with the small block mounts, I bought a set of small block engine mounts and installed the engine.   I have since discovered  I need the engine to sit 1/2 to 1 inch higher to address my header clearance issues. I'm assuming if you set the SB and BB chassis mounts down side by side, the "hump" where the engine mount couples with the chassis mount would be larger and taller, raising the engine a bit?   I appreciate your comments,   Larry Shouse
