everything will bolt up just fine, unless you are swapping the 351 for a 6 cylinder... in that case, you will need the frame mounts, along with the motor mounts. i word of caution... if you plan on using a higher than stock intake, (my edelbrock performer caused issues) use the early 65 frame mounts, as i understand they let the engine sit about an inch lower between the rails.

Go with poly mounts if they're in the budget. All the parts-store rubber mounts are garbage in my experience and fall apart fairly fast. They also don't have retaining straps to keep the mount from pulling apart and letting the engine slap your hood. The polyurethanes do.
