Anyone knows what mounts/pads i can use for a L31 sbc into a 65 cutlass?

You would need to treat it like a 1965 Chevelle. Your car is an A body just as a Chevelle. You will need the frame brackets and the matching motor mounts, to perform the swap! Also if you have a bop trans, you will have to get an adapter plate or a chevrolet trans to mount up.

Are you planning a swap to replace the 455?

I'm in the process of doing a similar swap on my 67!!! I'm installing stroked 454/T400 trans! So far it's been really easy, just a few minor details. I used BBC frame brackets with BBC motor mounts. I have a ministarter on the BBC so I went with a Ford Solenoid for starter and ign circuit power to the HEI. I had to move the trans Xmember back and now am modifying my e-brake to work. I also have to mod the driveshaft. I reused my olds alternator with BBC brackets. I also used the BBC power steering pump and modified the hose! I used BBC Hedman headers for a Chevelle.

I hope to have it all back together and running in the near future!
