I just looked on Rock Auto for motor mounts for my 65 Valiant and can't seem to find them? Checked Advance Auto online and no dice either. What years are they interchangeable? Am I just missing them?

Thanks
Rick

'62-66 A-body, and maybe B body too? I think they are Slant 6 specific, but might even be the same for V8s.

Let me know if you can't find them. I have some you could at least use.

Also, there are the poly ones. Try Search function. These were developed by a guy in OR or WA about 1-2 yrs ago and are likely available.

Interchange on these is '62-'66 A-body (Dart, Valiant, Lancer, Barracuda) with slant-6; the V8 mounts aren't the same. All you can get through the general parts market these days is garbage from India or China, made out of compressed cow poo. Get the good mounts from www.polybushings.com and never have to think about your mounts again.

+1 on that, even though I use spool mounts I just got a second set of spool inserts and I won't have to buy another set of bushings/mounts for a long while. Mr. Spiva makes a quality product.

I can't drop $120 for a set of mounts right now. I may need to use the"Cow Poo" ones for now. But I didn't even see them on Rock Auto. The Left side one looks like you may be able to use one from a newer model. Not so with the Pass. side. I'll have to do some moor searching through my boxes tomorrow. If I can't find some I may need to take you up on a used set Lou.

Rick

Just searched Napa also, and none listed under 65 Valiant Cow Poo motor mounts. If you know where to get them let me know.

Thanks

or you could just burn the rubber out of yours and fill it with flexane 94 like i did, flexane 94 is a black polyurethane with a shore hardness of 94 http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/DEVCON ... Pid=search
(hence the name lol) found here also see here for a quicky how too http://slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php ... &start=750

I have cow poo and non-cow-poo mounts at Madsen Parts Emporium. I am happy to lend a new set, or maybe sell a set. Let me see what I have...

The Spiva mounts are nice, but spendier, yes.

Lou,

I probably Had them too. With emphasis on the had! I have some boxes to look through to see if I have any. Drop me a PM with what you got.


Rick

Not really interested in solid mounts either.

If you can find a set of worn out stock mounts you can replace the rubber with pieces of 2X2 box tubing to make solid mounts. That's what I did in my red junk.

Been buying mounts from here for over a year. No problems, and good service. Just got 2 complete sets of mounts, including trans, for a 73 dart, last week.
One thing, If ordering for a 63-66 Valiant, use the Dodge Dart section. The part numbers for Valiant are not correct.
