Slant six to Poly 318 Engine swap

[onetontommy]

Question, I bought a 68 Dodge Truck with no engine. A friend bought a 64 Dodge Truck with a Poly 318 push button Automatic. I bought it to put into my 68. Does anyone know where to get the correct engine mounts for this swap. Thanks

The LA 318 motor truck brackets and rubber mounts will work on the Poly. Are you going to use the trans. as well?

The answer to your question is yes. I'm going to use the Poly with the pushbutton Transmission. So I bought engine mounts for a 68 318. Installed them and then set the engine in and they don't work. The engine mounts that came off of the 64 truck were thick in size, while the 68 engine mounts were thin in size. Don't know what to do right now? Kind of confused and I ran out of Diet Pepsi. Any help is appreciated. Thank Tom

Something is not right. The la engine brackets and motor mounts work . The early motor mounts are thicker because the frame attachments are different on the '61-'early '65 frames. Late '65 -'71 frame mounts are different. Sounds like you have the wrong motor brackets. This is what they should look like:

Thanks. I finally figured it out.
