Considering that the Chevelle and Cutlass use the same frame, that's obviously not true. The problem is that you have an LT1 motor instead of a more traditional SBC. Pretty sure LT1 blocks have different mount locations. Sell the Chubby, get an Olds 455, and it's a bolt-in.

If you click the search button underneath the main tool bar and type in engine swap or somthing there ar quite a few posts you can scroll through and read. I will ask a few people and send a few e-mails and see what I can come up with. Let me know if you have any luck
I will try to get back to you withen the next week.

As stated, the Cutlass and the Chevelle are basically the same, you need to treat it as a Chevelle. So either you need to purchase or fab frame brackets for the LT1 motor mounts. Heres a helpful site to join:

Whatever happened to the time honored method of dropping the engine in, see where the things need to be, tack weld 'em in place, remove engine, weld mount tabs to frame... if no holes exist handy already. Just do it. Fab your own stuff as needed. Cut, grind, hammer, bend, weld.
