Just a heads-up on the Slanty ARP's, there seems to be a part# app issue, issues with bolt-head/spot-face interference & they also fit so tight in the rod that resizing is a must.
63 Dodge Dart, now let me see;)

I have seen the RoadKill Garage guys, get one running that had been sitting 20 or so years, and run 4 fuel filters in row!! I forget whether in front or behind the fuel pump, but they never clean the gas tank either!!!!

depressed, found out what the problem is with my engine supports. I didn't have the brackets and found some on Ebay quite a while ago. The ones I bought are from a '72 Plymouth valiant. So I need to find at least the drivers side bracket, the picture in the pretty red is the mount I need I believe. Little did I realize a while back on the nasty old original engine, there were a amazing amount of parts that I could have kept, including the engine supports
I'll put out a wanted listing when we get back after next week~ and that depresses me too.
The brackets I have now
and this one, maybe I could modify them?
I was in such a hurry to get rid of it, how sad

We've all been there....done that with stuff, so don't feel like The Lone Ranger. You won't have any trouble finding some brackets. Somebody here will have some. Most people yank a slant out of an early A and stick a small block in them, so somebody's got one laying in the corner with the right brackets. The ones that I have laying around from my /6 science project are the same as what you have or I'd already be askin for a shipping address...lol. Hang in there and just thing about how good a turkey sammich is gonna be next Friday or Saturday.

Early-A's have the engine set farther forward by over an inch than the '67 & up generation, which is one reason they require their own headers.....I made My DC/MP 6-into-1 headers fit My '64 GT Cpe., but it wasn't pretty, basically I'll need to cut & re-tube some sections to make it 'right'. The other reason is the Early-A's front frame rails are ~2.5" closer together, so You lose ~1&1/4" per side for clearance. Steering box & pitman arm/tie-rods are full-into the later A header tubes. I am however, plotting to move Mine back about an inch, it will require a firewall mod behind the cyl. head, & tunnel mod at the starter unless I find the mini works better there.
I may employ the later bracket w/the thick early biscuit, but the K-member has a lot of room to slot/move the mount holes fore & aft. I should have at least 2 extra Early Dr. Side brackets, I'll check in the AM,....well, later AM,.....
I'm the world's worst about chunkin stuff and realizin I need it later. I'm to the point now I hole onto anything that's not slam rusted to death or tore all to hell up.
D I have a 64 cuda I am parting has a slant. Just never going to get to it.

I was worried that there weren't any more of them left in the world~ suddenly two pop up! ;) I'll be back in a few hours, we're heading to the Renaissance festival, we're only good for a few hours at it;)

I have not done the engine stuff yet just e mail me a list and I will see what I have. You are in the right place with this site.
I finally sold my 62 Lancer a couple months ago. Since I can not usually give away slant stuff, I gave him most all the extra slant hard part stuff I could find. Sorry!
