I chose the 73-87 style mounts because I've had the 72 back style fail on me before. It was on a big block though. Not sure the small block would torque that much or not?
I feel like the 73 up design is superior because even if it fails, the bolt will keep the engine from raising up.
It can be messy when one of the old style mounts fail.
