I have a 72 with the 350 installed and will be swapping it out for a big block. I am thinking of just buying the 72 only big block stands and clamshells and new rubber motor mounts. Will this work ok? Also why are the big block stands different from the 67-71 and the 72 only? Are the frame holes different or something for the 72 year? Does the 72 only stand make the engine sit a little different in the engine bay than the 67-71 stands? I dont wanna use my small block stands because I have read they have header clearance problems. What are the benefits or any of using the 67-71 stands or the 72 only stand? Thanks
