I have a 1959 Regent that was originally a 313 car that i am putting a 361 into, my question is are the mounts on the frame the same, I understand the engine side will be different. Thanks

Just trying to clarify what i need, the frame mounts are the same but i will need the engine side from a big block correct?

The frame mounts are the same for all the V-8s but the engine side mounts (where they actually bolt to the engine) are different between the B-RB and the smaller engines. You could probably modify your old 313 mounts to fit the 361 if you are able to do a little fabrication.

That's what I thought, thanks for the clarification! I don't have the original mounts but have a couple leads on some, if the poly mounts are similar than I'm good with modifying a set of them as well, it'll broaden the search parameters a little anyways!
