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. |
