Motor mount issue

yup. 3.9, 5.2, 5.9 motor mounts are all the same. youre not finding any specifically listed for a 5.9 in that body that year because Dodge never put the 5.9 in the Dakota in that year. (I hate "5.9" designation.... I still call em 360's cuz that's what that size engine was always called back when they came out in 1971 as the "LA series" version..... "5.2's" will always be a "318" to me. have owned more "old" versions than "new" (Magnum") versions.....

I wasn’t looking for 5.9 mounts I looked for 3.9 or 5.2. The parts are discontinued so off to the bone yard I go. Gen 2 mounts won’t work, the cradle is different.

The frame sides are NLA; the adapters are NLA; the original barrel design is NLA.
(And if you have a source for the OEM barrels, please Please PLEASE post it!)
OTOH, there ARE motor mounts available that bolt and work good, as long as the block adapters and the frame horns are there.
OTGH, 49 mater truck is dropping a Magnum into a 1949 truck ... NOT quite as easy as dropping a 5.2 into a 1992 Dakota!
