I have the Don Hardy V8 conversion mount kit. The car had a V8 swap when I bought it so I don't know the specifics of installation firsthand. It looks pretty well bolt-in. I know when I was looking up the mounts before I bought my Vega, these mounts were hard to find. I have recently replaced the worn out rubber motor mounts with poly mounts. The application I used was from a 72 Chevrolet pickup. I ordered them from summit for less than $60. They were Energy Suspension part number 3.1156G. I have a video coming out about it as you would expect.
For the specifics on the blocks, I'm not a guru on that. As far as I know, a small block is a small block. For the dimensions, I'd have to use the casting number on the block and do some research.
I'll keep looking, and if I find anything more, I'll send it to you.
