I have a 1968 lemans with a Pontiac 350. I am wanting to swap it out with a Chevy 400 with a 400 trans. do they make conversion motor mounts and trans mounts? The new motor is just stock with nothing aftermarket. Just making the swap do to running issues with the 350. Any info would help.
 
yes here is a link to a company for motor mounts but you may be able to just install chevy mount brackets and stock chevy mounts the trani mount would be the same

Holes for the frame mounts ( Chevy) may be there allready there as most Canadian Pontiac Lemans came with Chevy engines.

Easy job , I put a chevy motor in a 68 firebird years back , I just bolted the frame brackets (camaro)right to the motor mounts on the engine hanging from the hoist with the tranny connected I lowered the engine/tranny right in the car lined it all up ..started the tranny mount bolts to the crossmember marked the frame where the motor mount brackets sat then pull the motor/tranny back out ...drill holes in frame where you marked it , bolt the motor mount brackets to the frame. .. put the motor back in. You probably can use Chevelle brackets and mounts.
