| Post subject: | Performance Motor Mounts for my 71 Dart |
Hello Everyone! I was looking for some new motor mounts for my 71 Dodge Dart Swinger with the 225 Slant 6 and I need to pick some brains on what options I might have to get a quality set of motor mounts. I would love to get the Poly or Poly-Locs motor mounts, but for my car they don't make a complete set, they only carry the Drivers side here: http://polybushings.com/pages/2469.html And I know that is important one, but I like things to match. They do make a complete set for the 1962-66 A-Body passenger cars with the slant six which you can see here: http://polybushings.com/pages/2303-4.html They also make a complete set for the Spool mounts of 73+ Abodies here: http://polybushings.com/pages/1105.html My Question: Is there a way to swap the bolt on engine mount brackets on my 71 dart slant 6 and instead use engine mount brackets from other years/styes of A-Body passenger cars with the slant six? Even if I swapped the engine brackets for the different ones, would my current stock K-Member I have currently on the car work with the different style of motor mounts? Any suggestions or ideas on how to make this happen would be great! Thanks! Tony FYI: I did talk with Engine Swaps, and Poly Bushings just to check if they made them for my car before posting this question here. And I had read the FAQ on the motor mounts here: http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic ... 19&t=47330 |

I think perhaps the passenger side is same 62-76, and you could just order one of the 62-66 pass side mounts. You could look on Rockauto.com to see if the part numbers match up. Or, maybe someone else here will chime in... Best, Lou |

One of the many misconceptions that floats around the automotive world is that polyurethane mounts and bushings are 'better' than rubber. |

The cool thing about the poly mounts (that I had added the links to in my first post) is they have the interlocking metal inside them. And they look really nice, which is great also. ![]() The Drivers side mount I can get because that mount is used for some of the V8's also. The part number on drivers side is 2265. ![]() The Passenger side is the mount that I so far am unable to find in the poly (matching set). The part number on passenger side is 2264. Which is why I thought I would ask about switching engine mounts. (yeah sounds like alot of work but I am kinda strange, almost OCD with some things) ![]() The motor mount images are from this website which can show you different motor mounts and motor mount part numbers: http://www.showmetheparts.com/anchor/ |
