Default Engine Frame Mounts

Yesterday, I went inspect and pick up a frame for my 73 that was said to be like new. It was not, serious rust inside the trailing arm areas. So my search continues.

My 73 has a 350 engine.

Are the engine mounts both fore/aft location and width spacing the same on a frame for either a small block or big block. Sure dont want to buy a big block engine frame if it wont fit my small block

Thanks

Hi 8v,
The frame is the same for a sb or bb engine.
The only differences in the frame are whether it was built for a 4-speed or an auto transmission.
Regards,
Alan
