I got a 318 - 1976, I took it out of a 73 Valiant..

The K-frame got the mount for engine in left side much more forward than the rigth side.?

On my K-frame, made for bigblock, - the rigth side is a little mor forward than the left..??

It's very different mounting types....

Options - get the rigt engine mounting plates / mountings, - or change the whole K-member..???


The rigth side mountingplate don't look like original stuff..???

Maybe a Schumacher conversion mount will work best for you.

After 74 or so they mount system changed to a spool mount over the rubber block type requiring a totally different mount for either small or big blocks , Schumaker would still be the best bet
