We are doing a slant 6 to 318 conversion in my sons 74 duster, the car came with the Schumacher 340-360 mounts included in the deal. Since I already have a pretty well built 318 we were planning on using that motor. I know the left side should be fine but I'm told the right hand side is different, is there any way these mounts will work?
 
If no one chimes in, you can always Schumacher, they are usually helpful.
 
The install instructions are on their site. You can probably eyeball the differences, but it should be the same for all LA engines.
 
One of the 340-360 mounts is different. You have to add a spacer to use a 318 mount on a 340 or 360. I'm not sure if a 340-360 mount will bolt to a 318 or if it will hit one of the "ears".
 
I don't know about the spool type mounts, but with 67-72 318 biscuit type mounts I've seen and used would bolt to a 340/360 if you put spacers (thick washers) on the drivers side mount aft mounting ear...surely if you search "engine mount" or "spool mount" it would come up with some good pictures and such.

...or you could just use the ones mentioned in here...

found after search using "spool mount"...
 
Not gonna work on using the 340-360 mount, the ears won't be far enough apart to mount on a 318. Unless it's a race block.
 
I have a perfect solution..

I'll trade you my 318 Schumacher spool mounts for your 360 mounts.. Pm me

There you go, maybe $10 each way, USPS flat rate or regional box, for both of you and you got what you need!
 
Thanks to everybody that responded... The trade is the way to go for sure! Stay tuned... I'm sure we will have more issues as this project proceeds!!!!!

There are no difference between a 318 and a 360 motor mounts. I had a 318 in my car before the 360 and they are the same and yes my car was originally a / and has Schumaker mounts

We are talking brackets not the motor mounts.

If you have an R or X block then maybe.

They have two separate bracket part numbers for 273/318 and 340/360 engines.

Why stock two part numbers if they are the same. That's bad inventory control and financial business!
