I am putting a crate 360 into a 70 duster that came with a 318. What motor mounts do I need?

la 360 mounts, or you can widen the 318 mounts with some spacers.

Sorry, but I don't understand "widen the 318 mounts with some spacers". What does that mean exactly?

Did this about a year and a half ago. MP 360 and mechanic tac welded a spacer on right side mount to accomodate 360 that was replacing stock 318.

set the mount(s) up against the rear side of the block ears & you'll see what you need for flat washers

Yep, that's how I did mine a couple of years ago. Works perfectly
