I have a V8 K-member; which brackets/mounts do I need (are all SB brackets/mounts the same)? Also, what about the transmission mount? I guess those are my two main questions. Any other tips would be great. Thanks! It's Swifty! Swifty, you toad sucker!

The driver's side used a regular A body '67-72 318 bracket. This setup took mid - 70's 440 truck rubber isolators to get everything to line up correctly. They are thicker than the A body isolators and the offset for the mounting studs was correct. The A body isolators would not work due to the stud offset not lining up with the holes in the brackets and k member. Luckily I had a set of truck isolators in my pile of spare junk, and they worked perfect. Everything fit like a glove. Don't know if this would work on your B body?

Ohh...and the louder you get the more likely you are RIGHT... Look, I'm sorry I'm not an expert on ALL Mopar body styles...the OP asked for a link, so there went my reply...in the meantime though, do you have anything positive to contribute to this discussion? Unless I missed it, I haven't actually seen a reasonable contribution here from you in terms of an actual 'working' fix...feel free to SHOUT it out anytime now...

Comprehension isn't your forte is it? Go back and read the postings, specifically mine and you will see that your link was useless as others, including myself, posted that there was not a swap kit for this setup and that we looked for the OP. More useful than your posts in this thread to date. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

It's the motor mount bracket that bolts to the side of the engine. The rubber motor mount (isolator/biscuit) bolts to it and then to the k member.

Cab_Burge I Win C Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 43,223 Bend,OR USA	I've got a 1966 Dodge Coronet Deluxe six cylinder car, I found a V8 K member for the car from the saem year, I am looking for a 1968 or newer V8 K member so I can use the better 1968 and later idler arm instead of the early single bolt, stud one with no capture on the top to prevent the idler arm from flexing OP, changing the K member is not that hard, really Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
