motor mount Q

[Rapid Robert]

63 dart 360. (273 64-66 V8 mts). On which side(s) do the tall/short ones go? I am way too high on the pass side (508 rubber insulators both sides). maybe I have the eng off sideways with the mtr mt slotted hole(s) in the kmember allowing alot of leeway for positioning side to side. thank you for your time.

Drivers side

Passenger side

They look ok, what I do is leave the brackets & mounts off the engine during install, then after trans mount bolts are started and left loose then I install brackets with mounts on driver's side 1st, then after everything is in position I tighten everything down.

I stuck the mounts on to take the pics for Robert, but I will usually leave one insulator loose as a goose during install and then tighten stuff up where it needs to be when everything fits where it's supposed to. B&E bodies are no problem, but 64-72 A bodies and D series trucks are a pain in the butt!

as they say a pic is worth a thousand words. Much appreciated. RR

what I had to do is set the mounts/biscuits on/in the kmember hole(s) then lower the eng the rest of the way slightly until the ears were close to the mounts then raise the mounts slightly to meet the ears & bolt them up to the ears making sure the lower stud(s) stayed in the kmember slot(s) then lower it all the rest of the way down slightly till done. I will check the pics & see if I have the mounts on the correct side (assuming they could be interchanged). I am way way too high on the pass side. I can see the tilt of the oil pan.

Hey Robert....I just noticed something I did wrong on the passenger side mount. I put it in front of the block ears instead of behind them like it should be! That's what I get for getting in a hurry....lol. Maybe lift your motor up just a bit, to where the insulators barely clear the K frame, and then rotate the motor counterclockwise and then set it down. You may have to get a 2nd set of hands to do that.

^^^ I will do that. here's pics of the mounts

Robert, you have them on the wrong sides.

Oh My God! bro that would certainly explain the drastic tilt that I have, thank you! RR
