Yes, a olds th250 bolted to a sbc 350. You have to use what is called a "B.O.P. adapter plate" (Buick, olds, Pontiac). They are like $60. And they are reversible, chevy to olds, olds to chevy ect.

ok so i had to figure this out too, for whatever reason the big brains at gm decided to make the mounts a absolute pain if u dont have the right tools. basically you have to get to the nuts/ bolts (whatever side u have them) through the suspension and through the gap in the k member and you will want one of those flexible socket wrenches and hold on to the nut from the inside and have a buddy use a impact or whatever to take it off from the outside, be careful cus its easy to lose one of those nuts in the fram itsself.
