I have a 455 (1969) which I want to drop in my 442 (1965).
Does anyone know if stock 1969 455 motor mounts will work, or will I need to find some 1965 400 motor mounts?
Do I have any other options?
Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.

Short answer, the 1965 cars used the same motor and frame mounts for the 330 and the 400. The 455 is externally identical to the 400. Use your existing frame mounts and Anchor P/N 2261 motor mounts (the stock ones for a 65). This is a bolt in. Be aware that you need the flywheel/flexplate from a 1968-up motor, since Olds changed the crank flange bolt pattern in 1968.
