http://www.motormounts.net/ They have a listing for 87 dodge b250 van, with a 3.7 slant six. $3.89 ea, plus shipping. Look at the picture to make sure they are correct. I have found a couple of mistakes in their application guide. |

Chigato.....are you looking for just the rubber mounts, or are you needing the engine or crossmember brackets, too? The thread title, and your questions make it sound like you removed a V-8 engine, and intend to replace it with a slant 6. If that's the case, and you've discovered that you need crossmember brackets, I suspect you'll have to go to a Dodge dealer, or find a parts van in a salvage yard that you can get the pieces from.

Hi Roger, Yes I want to remove a 318 and install a slant six. I took a quick look at an 86 B250 slant six van that I just got last week and noticed that there are some long brackets welded to the crossmember. I haven't had a chance to look at the 318 van yet, but I suspect that this is not a straight swap-out as I've been told by others. Finding a junked slant six van isn't going to happen any time soon around here. And if there were , that wonderful cash for clunkers plan that our genious government concocted for those that can AFFORD a new piece of junk, destroyed so many perfectly good vehicles. It's a shame what my freind and I saw in the junk yard. Before I call a dealer, ( I have a very special place in my heart for dealers), I'll look into a hydraulic shop press and make them if that's the case. But you never know, maybe the dealer isn't that greedy on the price. I do know that since they're welded onto the crossmember, that they only may sell the crossmember with the brackets, and not just the brackets. This was the case with the idler arm bracket that rusted off the frame. I priced a 1989 dodge van frame 2 years ago and they were around $400, but the parts guy checked and there weren't any frames left in any of the warehouses any more. |

A powered hacksaw and arc welder are great tools for this type of work...   DD |

I agree, but I noticed that a component of the bracket has a nice 90 on it and it's THICK. Being somewhat of a purest a do lot of dreaming and pile up alot more than I can handle in one lifetime. It would be nice to duplicate the factory brackets. And just think of all those cargo van door hinge pins you could press out with a huge shop press.
