Default Putting 327 in 1981 Camaro - engine mount questions

I'm swapping out a v6 in my son's '81 Camaro for a 327. Will any 327 mounts work for this? Having trouble with a google search in finding something that says definitively what will or will not work. I know it would be easier to do a 350 swap but I got a great deal on a built 327. Thanks.

Small block mounting points to the engine are the same. Just get the mounts for the V8 version of your car, and bolt it onto the 327.

There are a few early 327 engines that might create issues with mounts, but if your engine has the side mounts you should be good.

Thanks guys. I was able to find some 350 mounts that should work.

However I'm not sure which mounting holes to use where they attach to the car because there are three sets of holes. The holes closest to the firewall seem like they won't allow enough room but that's the holes the v6 used. I'm guessing the set that is farthest from the firewall? Thanks again.
