Hi I'm getting ready to drop a magnum 360 in to my 1973 dodge dart sport my car was a originally a slant 6 car three speed manual I have swapped the original k frame for a new v8 k frame I'm getting ready to drop my magnum 360 in with a 727 is the truck motor mount the same as a car and if they are not were can I buy a set of car motor mount
 
What year V8 K frame did you swap into it? '67-'72 takes a different style mount than a '73-'76 K frame.
 
Are you talking about the ears on the block or the actual mounts?
 
Was told by the guy I bought it from it's for a 1973 dodge dart sport

Also the drivers side mount is different between 273/318 and 340/360. You can use a 273/318 mount but you'll need some spacers or washers.
 
Looks like someone did a kframe swap. 73 has the spool mounts like moparmarks. I read somewhere that the truck magnums have mid engine ears on the blocks but idk tho. Do you have the engine already?
I just read in your op that you swapped the kframe haha my apology I should learn to read!
 
Yes Magnum motors have both the Magnum mount bosses and the LA mount ears.
I have a 5.9 Magnum in my 72 on the 73 frame.

I remember a thread that says you can use a truck mount on the driver's side to put a small block in a slant K frame.

I heard the same many years ago but never actually tried it myself.

I also remember seeing that and I've been searching for it but can't dig it up.
