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.
You got it. 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 thats how it works out. -RJ

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?

Eastwood is famous for taking other companies' paints and
putting their label on them. Not that there's anything wrong with it as long as
they provide a source for good quality products. Just remember that you can often
get the same paint elsewhere for less $$ if you know where to look.
Also, you have to pull the pin to get the C-clips out but as soon as you get
them out, put the pin back in to prevent the spider gears from falling apart.
Try not to move the gears while the axles are out.
