As I recall when swapping a FE into a Y-Block car you can reverse the mounts side to side, rotate them 180deg, and they work. Thats why I was wondering if a FE cross mount for a hot rod would work for a Y-Block in a hot rod? Of course the front mount (Hurst) allows a greater availability of exhaust manifolds/headers.

Something about a spacing difference on the motor mount studs. Although I've never done this myself and it may be an old wives tail. I'm sure you have done more than a few. Chuck Y's guys rule!
