Hi guys, I have read conflicting information on whether or not I need to change the frame motor mounts when replacing a 307 with a 396. some aftermarket sites list 1 mount for all V8's, others state 307/327/396 are the same and 350 is different, or 307/327 are the same and 350/396 are different. Can som...
