When they get here, I will do a complete photo study with both BB and SB chassis mounts and engine mounts coupled and separately. Of course I'm not trying to step on David's toes here, but I need to really compare everything anyway, so I might as well document it and permanently post pictures for future reference for everyone.   Thanks to everybody who chimed in on this one.   Larry Shouse ----- Original Message ----- From: Brad Waller To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 12:38 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Engine Mount Question Great shots of the height!  I wonder if the difference is in the effective location of the mounting holes once both are bolted to the frame.  Do you still have both mounts available?  If so, can you line them up with a long bolt going through both to get them in the same position, and then see if the holes for the engine mount bolt are in the same location.  I wonder if the big block mount as bolted into place would put the engine mounts in a lower position?  Does any of this make sense?   Brad From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of The Hanks Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 5:57 PM To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: [Chevelle-list] Engine Mount Question   Ok guys, here are some pics of both SB and BB engine frame mounts. These came off of two 1966 Chevelles one a SB the other a BB.. So as far as I know they are the correct ones..   The one on the right is the BB.  I did not see any difference in the height between the two.  As you see the difference is in the structure of the two.  Hope this helps     This is the link to the pics http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0AYuGTdq4ZsWLmI   David   David Hanks 1966 SS396 1974 Corvette ACES 6782 Team Chevelle 1940 Pilot Point, TX -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clint Hooper Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 3:45 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Engine Mount Question I think 1968 was the year of the recall,Dale.
