IIRC, its the drivers side that is special for 340 block (and 360). The other side is the same as 273 or 318. The rubber insulators are the same as other 67-72 small blocks. Those brackets are availible very good repro brand new powder coated. Used value on those does not generally exceed new repo value. Last edited by autoxcuda; 01/21/13 04:35 AM.

Those sure look like they'd work on a 67-72 273-318 engine. First pic, top bracket is pass side. Last edited by RobX4406; 01/21/13 01:34 PM.

So are those 340 brackets or 273/318?
