1975 engine into 1979 truck....motor mounts? - 01/09/22 02:54 AM
So we got the torque converter thing situated....now have another question...probably a pretty dumb one at that. I am putting a 1975 360 in a 1979 Truck. Do I use the 1975 rubber mounts, or the 1979 mounts. Looks like they changed in 1979...and thinking thats why my engine and trans are not lining up correctly. I put the 1975 version on...thinking I need the 1979's, as they are a little different. ???

Same. Used 77 360 when I stuck it into my 84.

did you leave the 77 mounts on, or use the 84 mounts?

I would use the mounts for that year truck, not the earlier truck

I just ordered them....18 bucks for the set, guess I should replace them anyways since I have it out....

Big question, car or truck mounts on the 75 engine? Use the truck mounts, big difference

The donor motor came from a 1975 W200...its going into a 1979 PowerWagon...

I had a 77 360 from a 4x4 ramcharger that I rebuilt. The 84 was a 6 cylinder 4x4 originally. I used everything from the 77 and dropped it right in.
