Used this same type of mount on the 36 with the 318. Got them from Butch's Rod shop which is now Butch's Cool Stuff. http://www.butchscoolstuff.com/

from your pic, you already have the engine mount and rubber insulator, measure between the ears of the metal mount, get a piece of box steel to fit between the ears, use a piece of card board to mock up the angles,,cut on the proper angle and weld it to the frame, mark and drill a hole in the piece you made and welded to the frame,run a bolt thru both pieces,,thats all you need
what year is that motor,and wats it out of ??,the exhaust manifolds look like they fit great

I have some 3in steel channel that I am going to throw in there. I guess it is only going to go in there one way, as it sits now. I wanted to get it down a little lower but the steering column is hemming that up. The motor is a '78 318 and the manifolds are off a 340 from the mid 70's. Unless manifolds for 318s are slightly different in the bend around the steering, I guess its time to burn it in...Thanks
i e mailed you a few pics,,if tyou double click on the pics in the e mail it should blow them up bigger,,,they are the same engine mounts you have,with a made frame mount on a desoto hemi in a 48 dodge that has a volare front clip hope this helps,.., you could always move your steerring column out of the way using universal joints,,to clear your exhaust,,or maybe a center dump manifold would help,,plenty of those used in vans and pick ups

So after looking at your pictures again, I remember we used a set of standard 360 exhaust manifolds that drop down from the ports. That allowed us to lower the engine and move it back. When we did that, the crank pulley almost set in the factory notch, I think we made the factory notch a bit forward and offset to the right to clear our pulleys. After we got all the mounts built, and everything notched and re-welded, my son decided he wanted headers. On top of that, he got a set of used headers, because he didn't have much money. The headers made it real tight on the passenger side frame, in fact we had to notch the side of the frame to clear the header center tubes, to change the oil filter, you had to loosen it and remove it from above the trans dipstick. The starter area was pretty crowded as well. Those headers made things very tight, everything was sweet, with clearance all around, before the headers came into play. Unfortunately, we have no pictures. Sorry. Gene
