go to your local junkyard and get all the brackets you need of any dodge van or pickup with a v6 or v8 before they went to serpetine belts i think pre-93? as for the manifolds or headers you will need what fits you chassis.

I realize this is a slant forum, but you guys seem to know the most stuff! i have 2 mopars, one is a slant and one i am converting from a slant to a 318. I have 2 problems, the first is that i misplaced the alternator and power steering brackets and i am wondering if anyone has a set! also, does anyone know what headers or manifolds will fit this after the conversion. I currently have the engine in there and the power steering setup is soooo close! any help is appreciated. |

Can't answer any of this without knowing what make, model, and year of vehicle you're working on, and what year your 318 is. |

I am guessing 61 Lancer, and a 318 poly. (Let's make this challenging).

Y'call that challenging? Pish-tosh. Let's say it's a '59 Morris Mini. And yeah, a poly 318.

sorry, i forgot to tell you what car i was working on. The car in question is a 73 duster. It had a slant six, i put a 318 from an 85 ramcharger in it. I used the schumaker engine mounts. Unfortunately, i did not get the alternator or power steering brackets. My local junkyards do not keep anything that old and i have been coming up dry. As far as exhaust, the engine did not come with manifolds, and there is only a few inches between the steering and the engine. |

These guys reproduce regular PS brackets and alternator brackets, as long as you don't have A/C:: http://stores.ebay.com/Tallzag-Auctions ... Disc-Brake Hope this helps! |
