@memike is installing a 360 in an early a-body (66 Valiant) and may be able to let you know what he's using...

You can use the 273 mounts over. You will need to cut 1 off the back of the right side and weld it to the front. On the left side you will need to add a couple washers for shim. I did it on my 66 years ago and it worked great.
I was lucky and found a used set from a member here, but yes, these are what I am using A63LA Schumacher MOPAR Motor Mount Engine Swap Kit 1963-66 Abody S6 & V8 340/360 for sale online | eBay
I've a set for a 340/360 if you're interested.

how much for 340/360 mounts and what transmission are you using. there is more to just flatten the welded seam to get a 727 to fit in this 65 barracuda

thanks for the info, what transmission are you using in your swap?
I am using a 904, 727 is over kill for these lite mopars, plus it don't make cents to put a big heavy 727 in one and do all that other work, tunnel is to small, 904's use less hp and can handle 350 hp easy.
$100.00 + shipping USPS.
I've installed an a-833.

still have them, there is just only one problem. the 727 trans hits the tunnel and its either coming out or I mod the tunnel some to get the mounts to fit, I can raise motor enough to get it 69 isolaters in but still not enough room for oil pan.

looking closer to the picture they look just like 69 barracuda style rubber isolaters. my zip is 59405

I have run a 727 and a 10.5 bell and had to flatten the seam on the trans tunnel to make clearance. I have used the exact mounts 65dartcharger has for sale with good results.
Is that where your trans is hitting?

transmission hits mostly the bell housing, can raise engine high enough to get correct mounts in. I have the steel parts from the factory 273 in it now with 69 isolater in place, however there is no way an oil pan will fit the engine sits to low.

now this guy shows 273 mounts under a magnum. Blackhatguy, his oil pan fits fine and it looks like there are no mods to his K frame.

You need to use the 66 and earlier rubber along with the 273 mounts for proper position and to get the pan to clear.

Ok but that only will happen if I cut the floor so tranny will let the engine raise high Enough to put mounts in

Then you need to modify the tunnel or go with a different trans. I have a 10 1/2 bellhousing in my 66 with a 71 360 and 273 mounts and the taller correct rubber mounts for 1966.

Have you flattened the seam from the firewall to the floor pan. If you haven't I believe this will cause your problem. I used 63 -66 Schumacher mounts and with the seem flattened you should have clearance. I say should as it worked for me but I know every car is a bit different.
Can you get your camera in there to take a pic of the interference?
