While unloading my 400 from my buddy's truck today I noticed that there were cast on provisions for small block motor mounts. They weren't drilled or threaded or anything just blank bosses, I'll take some pics tomorrow when I start cleaning it up and putting the new parts in.

You might want to check the back to see if it's one of the "dual bell" versions. Both small block and regular 400 (429-460 style) pattern on the same block. I think they were early production, I've only seen one.

I checked and it's only got the double pattern mounts, would have been hard pressed to keep it if it was double pattern all across as those blocks are worth a fair bit of torino$$$$. Dissassembly, cleaning, and reassembly pics to follow over the next couple days :)

are the 2nd set of mounts complete or is there a bolt boss missing like the FMX dual bell pattern blocks?
it's the rear boss on the oil filter side that missing, there's a boss close but in the wrong place

I thought you could drill and tap those for windsor mounts but I guess not.
