These are the motor mounts that held the current engine, with no two bolts being the same. Are they correct for this use and do I buy new mounts for a 273 or a 318?
I’ll have to remove a couple of acres of New Mexico and oil from the trans to find out what year the 904 is. I suspect it came from the junkyard with the 318. How can I tell if it needs a annular ring? BTW, what does one look like - I’ve never heard of it.
The snout on the TC is smaller diameter for '67 and earlier, than for thr '68 and later TC snout. So if that early TC was used, then a thin ring would be installed inside the larger, later registration hole in the back of the crank to fill in the gap in the diameters.I’ll have to remove a couple of acres of New Mexico and oil from the trans to find out what year the 904 is.

correct!!So, measure the inside of the hole at the end of the crank on both engines, then measure the snout of the current TC. In a perfect world, the holes should be the same and the TC snout should measure close to the hole diameters, correct?

FWIW..... All 318's are cast cranks (except for some of the early forged truck cranks) and all 318's are internally balanced. So no external balanced flexplate or TC for any 318.Adapter/bushing looks like this...T-Flyte Patty use to sell them, but he's out of business now...

...and if the new engine has a cast crank, you'll need a B+M weighted flexplate to use with the old trans.
Cool...I stand corrected on the 318's. I thought late 60's 318's had forged (same as 273's), and went cast in the early 70's along with the rest of the engines?FWIW.....

Good pic of the ring! Tnx.

I think you mean me. Yes I have the bushings available. Message me if you need one.If you need an adapter bushing for the transmission to crank, @charliec is still selling them. I bought one from him a couple weeks ago.
