question 350/455 motor mounts
On my 1970 Cutlass convertible, I am replacing a 350 rocket with a 455. Do I need to replace the engine mounting pads that are bolted to the frame ? I've seen suppliers that sell 455 pads. Can I re-use my 350 pads?

Probably more like a dozen times THIS YEAR...
I'll also take this opportunity to again suggest that we stop calling them "350" and "455" mounts. Through the 1968 model year, the first design mounts (with the 2261 rubber mounts) were used with EVERY Olds block in an A-body, from 330s through the 455 in the 1968 H/O. The second design mounts (the stronger ones with the 2328 rubber mounts) were similarly used with EVERY Olds block from 1973-up, including the 260 and 455. It was only model years 1969-1972 where the two designs were used in the same year, and this has led to an infinite number of posts.
