my early (63-66) early A body Energy Suspension "poly" trans mount is 3&3/8" & from what I understand auto & manual are the same. EDIT I looked it up & this one fits 1962-1973 Dart (so I would assume fits the other A bodies of those years).

Oh I missed that you said B body. I would go to www.energysuspension.com & hit "download catalog" then scroll down to page 36 & the # is 5.1112 & it has the apps that it fits & it includes some B bodies (not sure if back to 62 or not) I bought mine for an early A body & from top to bottom (not including the stud) is 3&3/8" on the nose. EDIT I went back over there & it fits 62-70 Belvedere

1962 Dart where bodies, not A bodies tsk
1963 and later Darts where A bodies up
The 1960 to 1962 Mopar A bodies came in two different brands, Chrysler Lancers, maybe Dodge ?????? (CRS whiney), no Plymouth A bodies from 1960 to 1962.
the Hyper pack slant six with the four barrel and four speeds started in 1960 or 1961,the 273 LA motors where introduced in mid year 1964 with the single exhaust and two barrel carbs only for the rest oft hat year I what I remember I think they added the four barrel, bigger cam and higher compression ratio in the beginning of 1965 on the 273 in both brands of the A body , not late 1964 confused shruggy

I think the trans mount was the same for many years.
Reason I think that is I used a '69 B mount in my '63 Savoy when converting it from 3-speed stick to A833.
I used the same part when converting my '64 savoy from 3-speed stick to A727.
Could be a '62 is different as there are a lot of parts unique to them.

Oh, and I believe a 60-62 Plymouth A body would be the Valiant, though technically it wasn't assigned to the Plymouth line in '60.
The 61-62 Lancer was the Dodge equivalent to the Valiant, of course.

I just removed one yesterday from a 65 Bel II auto car...

Everything looks to be original and unmolested from a 69,000 mile car...

Two studs on the bottom of the mount thru the crossmember...

The distance from the inside of the bottom of the crossmember to mounting flange for the transmission is 2 15/16"...
