I hadn't seen anyone use those mounts before. Looks like early-mid '70s Camaro/ Chevelle. They call them "clamshell" mounts, the solid part bolts to the engine.

Where did you end up on the mounts? I am starting a non LS 350 project and mounts, spacing and location are my next project.
Thanks

Those look homemade.
For a sbc with Monza exhaust or Sanderson shortys I would use Don Hardy or ACE side mounts.
For Hooker long tubes a front mount kit or plate is needed.
