1962 empty engine bay pics

Hi all, I ordered motor mounts to fit a 302/351W with 7" spacing PN 2257 for my '62 Fairlane. However, this car was a previous project, and as it looks, the PO welded on some other type of mount. Anyone have an empty engine bay picture of the pedestal area? I would like to compare with mine. Thanks.

This site has info on swaping 6 banger for a 302 in early 60's Fairlane that weren't hacked up, but the info may give you some direction.

BTW there is pics of the engine mounts. Scroll down and select engine mounts.

Yeah I had those links. I forgot I had them. I've been a member there for awhile. What had me confused was the PO's welded in mounts. When I started tearing into the car, I got a good look at the welds. I also got a look at the 2257 mounts, and they won't work. I can either find an original used pair, or go with the Crites kit. Thanks for the reply.

I've had my Meteor longer, but never had to look at the mounts. (it sits out back waiting a restore) It all makes sense now.

Here is a 1965. I think it is the same (?) I can take a picture of my mounts if you want
