Well I got the motor in but it wasnt an easy task.



I know many people have had no trouble swapping them in but I decided to go a whole different way than just buying a direct swap kit. I purchased the cpp fit rite mounts, they are quality pieces but when the motor got put in and started to set it down the bolt holes for the motor mount were off by about a 1/4 inch. But with the help of my dad who knows quite a bit said that there are two different types of mounts for a 70 camaro one for a 307 and 350 and one for a big block and z/28 car for added hood clearance so once I got those the motor fit perfectly.





Now for the cross member a buddy told me that if you turn a turbo 350 cross member around that it works perfectly well I should have known that didn't work but I had hoped for the best. But what did work is to take the mount and turn it upside down and put it on the other side which worked perfect I have great tunnel clearance and with the adjustable slide motor mounts I was able to make the cross member work with just a little bit of modification and not have to spend a ton of money on another one.













I have great pan clearance and firewall clearance and these are with the sliders slid all the way back.
