do i need different motor mounts? will all my acc. brackets and pulley's swap over to the 360? it is actually a 408 stroker from "blue print engines" i bought there short block and i will assemble it myself with edelbrock heads and a Hughes cam and lifters. anyone have any experience with "blue print " motors?

thanks,
adam
 
Drivers side motor mount is different. A back yard fix is to space it out with washers.

No exp. with them.
 
I am using the washer trick on the 360 in my 68 Barracuda. No issues in 15k miles.
 
always heard they are different (318-360) but i have put in probably 12 different 360 using 318 mounts and i have yet to see it myself ?
 
The difference in the mounting boss dimension is 3/8". I have used the washer stack in the past and it works just fine but now I use a solid spacer that I got at the hardware store to make it look more like the factory did it, just a personal thing.
