There is a good chance 87 Camaro V8 mounts will work. If not you may need some custom fabrication.

The neoprene mounts go to the frame I used 5he front bolt up holes as suggested. Now this is where it gets funky. Which brackets do I use on the block, because what 5he manufacturer did on 5he block is kind of trans am specific.

There's a laundry list of things that need to be done to put a V8 in a V6 Camaro or Firebird. Everything from the motor mounts to the throttle cable will need to be changed. Plus if the 95 engine is OBD II, which it may be, all the electronics will have to be swapped out as well. Good luck to you!! Jim
