motor mounts for v8 dak
going with the 318 in my 88 dakota using a 78 318. Seems the motor mounts are completely differant on the older block than the newer 3.9 I need to make some mounts has anyone done this? if so do you have any pictures of the part? I'm cheap so not willing to spend almost $400 on mounts

I've no idea if this is Shelby's work or the person doing the restore.

Also, I'm told the stock 318 pan won't clear the Dakota's original crossmember. The often-mentioned solution is to rework the 318 pan with the sump from the V6 pan, or purchase the expen$ive Schumacher pan. Dodge used to make a pan for '91 V8 Dakotas (which used LA-type 318 engines), but it's my understanding that it's been discontinued and is almost impossible to find used.
Finally, as I'm sure you'll hear in this forum, there isn't much room up front for the engine-driven fan, and probably the easiest solution is to run electric 'pusher' fan(s) on the front of the radiator.
