What are my options for mounts to put a 383 in a 64 Dart. I don't want to do a motor plate. I've seen BB in an early A body before but don't remember what was used. And what exhaust manifolds/ headers might work. Would consider fender well headers. I was thinking of doing coil overs and remove the T bars. That would extra clearance under the car. Any info would be great.
 
Believe ABodyJoe had an early-A with a big block, might want to contact him...

Yep, I think he's done a couple of them.

BUT, here's the basics. Get the engine and trans in with the trans mount in place. Keep the centerline of the crank/trans shaft parallel to the frame rails with the slight elevation to the front. Then you can fab up some mounts to work.

Also, check Schumacher for mounts. I am not sure if they have them or not for the early A.
