my buddy and i spent the day taking out a 408 and trying to put back a 360 back into his 69dodge dart that come with a 318. we cannot get the drivers side motor mount to line up, we are a little less than a 1/2" off. he is putting a solid mount on drivers side and rubber on passenger side. the passenger side is matching up perfect. we cannot get the drivers side to match up. the only way to get to work is to use a die grinder and wollow out the hole to give some room, then the mount is at an angle and looks as though it will not hold up. he is trying to put a 1973 360 into a 69'dart and we cannot get the drivers side mount to work. has any of you A'body guys come up with this when swapping a360 in a 318 car?

The block ears are either closer together or farther apart (I forget which) on one side (forgot that too) of the 318 block compared to a 360 block so if your mts are narrower than the block ears then washers/flat spacers works well. the other way if the mt is wider than the ears you'd need the other mt. If a prob on the bottom (kmember) end is the mt being bolted behind the block ears?

sounds like you guys have installed the mount on the wrong side of the ears..The drivers side is the same on 318/360s. The pass side is different between the 2....
