Fireside Valiant chat

I take it those are the Shumaker conversion mounts going from slant 6 to a 318 on a slant 6 K member. For your Valiant Wagon.

Have also heard of people using the truck V8 mount on the passenger side and the slant 6 mount on the driver's side to put a V8 on a 6 cyl K member. You probably have some of those truck engine mounts there for a small block too.

Here is the passenger side V8 mount on a 360 going into the truck.

Can expand up the picture to get a better look at the mount.

It's a common misconception and I am surprised so many on fabo don't realize but early As only had one k frame.

Didn't matter if it was v8 or slant, they all had the same K frame. The center link and mounts changed between slant and v8.

After 67, there were v8 or slant k frames but oddly enough, after 67, they all used the same center link regardless of engine.

These are Schumacher replacement v8 mounts.
A built 318 is in the near future :)
