Will V8 engine mounts/brackets from 1972 and newer dodge trucks work on a Sweptline?

I have heard NO. But I would like to know what is the problem. Rubber motor mount part differences can easily be dealt with.

I just received a pair of 1972-80 small block brackets I bought on ebay. They have 4 block bolt holes vs 3 on the earlier brackets , but otherwise fit the same.

1 on left is like the later ones. Far right like the early ones I used when I swapped the /6 to poly in my '67 shorty.

2 black ones on the right I bought off a guy but don’t know what year sweptline they from. Gray ones I got off a ‘69. Gray ones are a little taller and the black ones angle back. The black one on far left is off an ‘85, passenger side.

I got a 318 out of an ‘85 Chrysler 5th Ave and the sweptline bracket is fine on driver side since the bracket fits to the rear of it.

If it was on the front like the passenger side it wouldn’t be wide enough.

This is from passenger side. This is the ‘69 bracket and it fits to the front of the engine. Obviously not wide enough.

This is the ‘85 pickup bracket. It’s wider and fits correctly.

The frontwards casting on the block is wider than earlier 318’s. Anyone else change engines and notice this? Since the ‘85 bracket is a little shorter I’ll just add a spacer under the bracket or motor mount. I’m guessing this should work. And on the ‘85 engine,the block casting on passenger side only has 1 hole on the rear. Strange that they would have changed the block casting at some time (if I’m correct).
