I would like to drop a 1970 olds 350 I have just sitting in my garage in my 87 Monte ls I've done some research and I'm confused on which motor mount combination I would need ? Are the frame mounts for the same year as say cutlass with a olds 305 a part I would have to hunt down or does someone sell these? Could someone help me with some images maybe , or any help I would greatly appreciate! Thanks in advance.

Have you considered what the Olds 350 is worth? They are reasonably rare in good condition for resale. Given different mounts and drivetrain hooks, staying Chevy in your MC would be MUCH easier and better for any future resale. Sell the Olds. Get a SBC.
If there is an oil fill tube up front straight up and down on the passenger side of the engine, it's an olds. If not, and has a dizzy straight up and down in the back, it's a chevy. You'd need a new transmission and olds 307 frame and motor mounts for the olds to work, among other things. Olds stuff wont sell as fast as a chevy, but hold onto it. Some guy will want it and pay decent money if it's in decent shape. especially if it's a 70 like you say.
If you can find a wrecked 80's Cutlass, you will need frame mounts, motor mounts, the 70 mounts are slightly different and all the accessory brackets with the 307's water pump length to work. Olds used multiple length water pumps and there are spacers for the accessories that must be in the right places, so take note.
