Motor Mount Help

Valiant63 said

I have done this a couple of times now. Last one was an 89 Dippy 318 that I put into a 63 Valiant. I used the 65 Barracuda 273 mounts, but had to weld on a triangular piece to the pass side mount and drill out the hold for the bolt to go thru. I also had to modify the firewall around the heater fan on the 63, but you don't need to worry about that on the 64 and up cars. Us the 273 mounts if you have them and get the one modified. No biggie.

Yup, it all depends on the block you're using. Some 318 blocks have 3 bosses on each side but some use a different 3 than the 273 has. Some other 318's have all 4 bosses. As for the 340/360 drivers' side problem, if you don't like the looks of the stack of washers (I don't myself) I've sectioned the stock 273 bracket with a chop saw and welded it back together to narrow it up. Takes a bit more work but gives you a stock look. Or pay $170+ for ones ready to go from Schumacher but they don't look like stock ones.
