Could I get recomendations for what type /brand of motor mounts to use. I'm putting a 1996 LT1 Camaro engine in a 71 vette.

The 96 motor mount position is in a different location on the side of the block. I'd lower the 96 block into place with the 96 engine mounts in place and figure out what has to modded on your 71 frame.

It might require cutting off the frame side and building custom tabs. Another area of concern might be the 96 Camero oil pan might not clear the 71 steering assembly.

I forgot to say that the Lt1 was a real dog wimpy motor rated at 300 hp.
