Re: [FWDLK] 56 Plym motor mounts

Yeah, the mounting ears are slightly different between the 270 and 277 engines.
I found that out last night when I picked up the 270 mounts to put on the engine because they were in better shape than the 277 mounts. I put them on the block, put in 2 bolts, go to put the third bolt in and it doesn't line up...crap...went to my buddies house and grabbed the 277 mounts.

Kanter does a rebuild of mine so they don't show a different mount.

To complicate things a bit, the parts book says there were two different motor mounts used for Plymouth in '56, so it depends on your engine number. The type 2 variety is the one that interchanges with '56 Dodge.

Nick,

 

I think these are the same as a 56 Dodge V8. One year only and there were never any aftermarket mounts made. Mitchell sells these on eBay cheaper for the bargain price of $189.95.

 

You might try to convince Imperial services to make these. He sells some other years for $135 ea.

Now and Then has both the Dodge (and Plymouth with Dodge V8) and Plymouth (A Series engine) versions listed as re-vulcanized.

I'm on the lookout for 56 plymouth v/8 motor mounts.

I don't need a pair just yet.

All I've found is Kanter for $215 each rebuilt. $430 is a bit hard to swallow for a pair of motor mounts.
