I have a 55 chevy 3100 with a 78 nova subframe, My question is does the 78 camaro have the same front crossmember as the 78 nova? I am putting a 396 with a turbo 400 in this truck, when I got the 78 nova subframe it had no engine frame mounts bolted to the front crossmember. I have seen 78 camaro big block frame mounts will these work? Or could i go with just some moroso frame mounts mated to energy suspension poly engine mounts? Thanks to anyone that can help.

If the steering box is in front of the crossmember, it should be the same. I know the early Novas had the box between the cross member and the firewall. The suspension is completely different.Generally the  1978 year Camero had the steering box up front. These are the only two I know of. But I am not a expert on what years and models they came on.
