I have a 50 Chevy P/U with a 68 Nova clip. I am placing a 1986 350 chevy engine in the truck. What year motor mounts should I buy for this application?

What engine did the Nova have in it? If a small block V8 of any size (307/327/350) then they will bolt up to an 86 small block of any size (305/350).

How are you going to cool it? Stock fan, electric, push or pull? The original location of the motor mounts will set the engine very low, and close to the cowl. I built my own "raised" mounts, and moved them forward so the HEI would clear the cowl. Helps if you do this before installing sheet metal. Another item to consider is the fender aprons, depending how low the subframe is, will determine how much trimming required for the aprons to clear the upper A arms.

I am not sure what engine the Nova had in it. When I bought the truck the front clip was already installed, just told it was from a 68 nova. I also don't know what car the 86 chevy engine came from. But what I am understanding is that I should be by the 86 engine to buy the correct motor mounts and that all 350's should use the same mount.
