5.2/5.9 Magnum Mount Dimensions

[NightRunner]

Hello everyone! I wanted to jump in to see if anyone knew of (or could measure) the dimensions of the 5.2/5.9 Magnum mounting points. Instead of using the ears located in the front of the motor, my idea is to use the mounting points found on the orange block in the picture attached. I'm mainly hoping to use SBC mounts flipped, but if I have to use LS mounts that's fine as well. Hopefully the dimensions match up a bit, if not it looks like I'll be getting some metal plate and weld-in motor mounts!

Why not just use Magnum mounts?
'90-ish Dakota 2wd:

Similar to the SBC mounts, but they have a limiter tab to prevent tearing.
Between 5 and 10 bucks at RockAuto.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'm gonna look for this mount at O' Reillys and compare it to my current swap mounts!

Here are measurements from a 1999 5.9L Magnum. Note the measurements are not symmetrical, but they are same on both sides of the engine while looking at it, same as looking at the measurements on this paper.
