Yes, but you must use the olds motor mounts. They are a 2-piece unit. The half that bolts to the block can be purchased new. the half that bolts to the frame is a little more difficult to find. Retain these from the donor vehicle if possible. If the engine/transmission is from a larger vehicle (i.e delta 88, or 98) the TH400 tranny will likely be a long tailshaft version. this will require that the driveshaft be shortened and/or the crossmember relocated. Make sure the motor mounts on the block are attached at the middle location, not towards the front. All GM A-body cars from 1968-72 share the same chassis and firewall location, so any motor from any GM division of the era will fit. I highly recommend you upgrade to a 4 core radiator and heavier 'big block' coil springs in front.
