Obviously the original would be for a poly 318, but I know they are the same as an LA. I'm not looking for the rubber parts, just the portion that bolts on to the block itself. I know that schumacher has them, but they are fairly expensive. Just looking for stock ones so I can make my own solid motor mounts. Anybody got one laying around, or know where to get them? Any moparts sponsors that would have a part like this?

The thing is, it only catches two of the motor mounts on each side. Trans mount lines up so I know its in the right spot, but I wouldn't want to run the motor like that in the car. You about ready to get that welder fired up?

It's just the side that bolts to the block that I'm missing. Local racers(and partners) Ray Christian and Shelby Starkey used to machine their max wedge/HEMI engine mounts out of aluminum(among other things). That was 40 years ago.. Good to know there are still a lot of thinkers out there. and guess who came up with aluminum tranny drums? I'll give you one guess. Last edited by 52savoy; 07/03/11 01:56 PM.

I thought they were wrong because I could only get 2 bolts in per side (instead of 3). But you're saying that's normal when using a 318 poly mount on a 318 LA? I thought they were exactly the same? EDIT... now that I'm looking at it... I understand. The poly 318 has the two bolts on the REAR of the mount on a the passenger side, while the LA 318 has the two bolts on the FRONT...
