Swap a 455 where a 350 was
Replacing a 350 with a 455 in a 1972 cutlass/442. The typical motor mount from a local auto parts left the engine much too high and the plates on the frame did not line up, too narrow. Anyone do this swap, how or what mounts worked?

You asked for 455 mounts. Get 350 mounts and drop the engine in.

From what I understand, the pads on the frame must match the mounts. The 455 mounts/pads are bigger for the engine, but the 350 pads/mounts will also work as there is not much difference. I don't own that year, so this is just my understanding of it and may not be perfectly right.
