1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"

Here's my version coming along. I drilled and burned the old mounts out of the shells. Then pressed the new poly bushings and sleeves in. My original thought was to shorten the shells and poly inserts to fit the 318 truck brackets. After thinking on it, I'm going to widen the brackets instead. I believe that will turn out a lot neater than shortening the shells and inserts. Here are the mounts and brackets. You can see about how much the brackets need widening. Once that's done, I can locate the engine and straight through bolt holes and drill them. Over and done.

That should work out nicely, Rob. Great start!

That's very similar to how I'm doing mine on my 66 Dart. I've just gotta weld up the pass side pieces and bolt the bracket up to the k-member, then it's on to the driver's side. I like having those nice flat landing pads on the early A-body K-member.
