About a year ago I bought two new motor mounts from a corvette parts dealer in the Netherlands and this is what I got:
Does these seem right? I want to be sure before I begin the with the job.
One came with a bolt and the other without.
Those appear to be standard non-locking mounts.
I think you have a 77, if your current mounts are the originals, when new they would have looked like this locking style mount.
On a locking style mount even if the rubber breaks away the 2 sections of the frame are still joined together.

Here are the measurements to see if what you have will fit or not.
Please do not use non-locking mounts!
They are very unsafe and were the subject of lawsuits.
Unless you are going for a pre-1968 NCRS correct judged car. Driven gently.
GM had a recall on these back in the late 60s and changed the design to the locking style.
They added a cheap but effective cable from the engine to the frame somehere for the recall, like the a-arm.
If you are going to "excercise" the HP of the car even a stock 350 can break the mount.
What results is the engine lifting too high, dented air cleaners, dented hoods, cracked fiberglass hoods, broken fan shrouds, jammed throttles, etc. etc. GM had to recall millions of cars because on some the throttle would jam, wide open. My 68 Camaro was one. The recall safety cable was already on it when I bought it in 1971. That car had a solid metal rod for throttle linkage.
I had a 68 Camaro 327 with a two barrel carb, when I floored the accelerator, it would hand for a few seconds. The mounts were repaired in 1970 and Chevrolet fixed it for free. It was a very large recall. Probably, this was the car that I should have never sold!
