1965 413 homemade motor mount
- Thread starter mopar440
- Start date
For a long time those factory mounts were out of stock and there were no replacements available, so people improvised. These days, Schumacher and others make replacement/conversion mounts so one does not have to get "creative".

Ok, so this is because the stock C body mount was shot?
The stock mount had a heavy curved base that was used to reach the frame attachment point. Check the casting date on the left side of the block to verify that you have a '65 413. There is a block casting number just above the date casting that identifies the engine. A stock '65 block will usually carry the casting number 2120529, 2205697,2468030. There is also a machined pad on the top of the block just opposite the distributor. '65 engine ID start with the letter "A". The pad should be stamped A-41 or A-413 if it is a '65 engine.

The block in pic would be incorrect for 1965....
Should mount to the front tab and then two
holes on oil pump boss..

Imperial Services sold them, although some people have said their service has slipped in recent years.

Interesting, I haven't ran #s yet, what do you think it is?

Your bracket was done like that because the block that went in did not have the mounting bosses on the front.
This is what the correct 65 mounts look like...
and how the driver's side looks installed on a 65 413...

66 does not use that. It is 65 only for C bodies.
IIRC, a lot of the blocks have the boss, but it's just not drilled.
True dat.
The # is 2205697-1 , so it SHOULD be a 65 block, correct?
That casting number was used for several years, look just below the casting number, there should be a casting date.

as someone should have mentioned not all b's or rb's had those bosses to be tapped for that eng bracket . its funny that b and rb motored factory a bodies used that same bosses n mount setup .
Is this possibly a truck/industrial motor? It had a heavy duty thermostat it in ( I made a thread) I haven't really drivin it officialy, but it's tourquy as hell

I stand corrected, 300rag .. Thought 5 and 6 were the same....
That would appear to be a passenger block.
www.mymopar.com has the casting numbers for the various mopar engines
It is page 66 which is hard to get to. google "mopar casting numbers" go the the link provided for mymopar.com

All it says is 59-65 413. AC is in the way of the pad. I haven't crawled back under it yet
