Re: 1966 motor mounts
are you putting a big block in it? i know for the small blocks you just the the middle part out of the inline mount and bolt it straight to the block and it fits

Re: 1966 motor mounts
Large block? or do you mean V8. There is the 350 SB and the 454 BB. There are other also but usually based off of those platforms. I put a 454. Here is my thread. Others chiped in with other options also. http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=259536

Re: 1966 motor mounts
The cheapest way is to get a pair of 68-71 big block frame stands. They bolt into your current frame with no mods.

Re: 1966 motor mounts
I just completed my big block 454 swap and I used the rubber motor mounts off the 250 6, bolted them to the block, and dropped it in. Should work the same for a small block...one of the many beautiful things about Chevy! lol

Re: 1966 motor mounts
If you want to use the '73+ motor mounts, you will need a pair of frame brackets (perches) from a C20. They fit the frame height better than the '73+ C10 brackets. You will still need to trim the top flange of the frame back about 1/2" or so.
Or do as Tx Firefighter recommended, get a set of '68-'71 big block mounts
