Hi all, anyone know what I need to replace a poly 301 with a late model 318 and auto trans? Does someone make motor mounts ? will the poly mounts work? will the trans cross member work?

Thanks in advance!

Hola Hunter

The 301's Oil Pan and Pick Up will bolt to any LA-273/ LA-318 or LA-340's Block. This is nice for it makes it possible if you have "fitting problem's".

The 301's Mounting Bracket's are the same --- To the LA Block.

The LA Series Right Side Exhaust Manifold is a Center Dumping Unit - just as The 301's. It is the Lift Side "clearance routing" that you may have some issues with.

A 1966-1962 Dodge Truck Automatic will have a Emer Brake located as where you do now and Push Buttons too.

Is The LA Engine from a Car or The Van/ Truck Division ??? What year is it ???
