I AM PUTTING A 396 IN MY 72 CAMARO AND BOUGHT THE REPOP 70-72 FRAME MOUNTS, PROBLEM IS MY SUB FRAME DOES NOT HAVE THE BBC HOLES. DOES ANY ONE HAVE THE MEASUREMENTS FROM THE SBC HOLES TO WHERE THE BBC WOULD MOUNT? ANY PICTURES OF A SUB? THANKS

Save yourself the trouble and just use the clamshell mounts exactly as they came off the SBC.

I concur. I didn't have to do anything to the mounts (other than move the clamshells from the 350 to the 396/454) when I converted my El Camino to a BBC. The crossmember had to be moved back to a different set of pre-drilled holes to accomodate the TH400, but nothing to accept the BBC.
