The big block mounts are
in the middle of the top two pictures, and the small block mounts are on the
outside of the top two pictures. It would have been a lot easier if he
labeled them in the picture or had separate pictures. It took me a while
to figure out what he meant, and without a picture from the table top it will be
hard to be sure which is taller. Or maybe they are close, but the holes
are different?
Anyone have pictures that
would show us which is taller?

Guys,
I found this post by Craig in my saved files -
finally. If you would please go to the picture link he provides and take
a look at the different mounts. Am I assuming correctly when he says the
"middle" set of mounts are for big blocks, he is talking about the second set
from the top? If so, that set (chassis mount) does indeed seem
taller...

Stacey, the frame to engine mount brackets are different from small block
to big block, however all of the hole locations are the same. The difference
is that the big block brackets have a strengthening rib that runs around the
bottom toward the front, also it has a notch to clear the interlocking tab in
the big block engine mount.Phil is correct in stating that you must use small
block engine mounts with small block frame to engine mount brackets, but you
can use small block or big block engine mounts with big block frame to engine
mount brackets. If you try to use the big block engine mounts on the small
block frame to engine mount brackets, the interlocking tab will hit the
bracket before the engine mount gets in the correct possition, you wont be
able to get it to line up. I found this out the hard way. I had to cut the tab
off before I could get everything to line up. Here are some pictures that
might help, the big block mounts are in the middle. Frame brackets The link is to pics of the two types. If anyone can sort this out, please
do.
