67 BB frame mounts - question
« on: May 23, 2017, 12:38:25 PM »
I'm disassembling my 67 BB Camaro & noticed that the motor frame mounts are different heights - which they should be.  The problem is that the passenger side mount is higher than the driver's side mount.  My understanding is that the driver's side mount should be higher on first gens.  The distance from the cross member to the bottom of the bolt hole is 1.75" on the driver's side and 2.00" on the passenger side.  The mounts can't be reversed due to the small flange on the trailing edge.  Has anyone run into this before - or is it just time to replace the motor mounts?

Bergy, I ran into the same issue recently.

The 68 Camaro subframe from a big block car that is under my son's LOS 1967 327 car has the same thing. Passenger side mount is taller.

Heater box also changed to big block type. Car hasn't been messed with since 1989, but who knows what happened before that. I haven't had time to dig deeper. But it is puzzling.

Do you have any pics looking downward at the mounts? I am curious on any markings on the mounts and bolts.

Let me see if these will attach.  These are the ones I mentioned. Green paint obviously not original.

Those are the same mounts that were in my car.  I removed & cleaned them today.  The car has been in this configuration since at least the late 70s.

did you notice if the right frame mount had the gas line clip on the back bolt. I didn't look at that the day Jay and I looked at your car

yes - gas clip on the rear bolt - you can see it in the first picture that I posted above.

Isn't the gas line clip actually above that?

Bryon, in post 4 your bottom picture, is that the driver's side mount or passenger?

Bergy are the markings on your bolts the same as what I posted?
