Default need help with parst for engine swap

Im finally getting around to replacing my 318/3speed manual with 440/4speed auto.
I have a 1968 fury III convertible and I need to know about what other mopar models I could find matching parts like a radiator for a big block, motor mounts etc. I dont know what other models used the same parts as the fury.I just know that its very hard to find things for my land bardge!
If anyone knows or has any info it would be much appreciated.
THanks

Contact Schumacher Creative for mounts. Do a google search for his address.

motor mounts are the same on all big blocks B, C & E bodies. Brackets also. Find most any C body car w/ bb & a.c. for the 26" radiator. Should be a pretty easy one to find. I'm fairly certain that the v8 crossmember will accept any v8, sb or bb without the conversion mounts as does the late 60's b body. Hope this helps.

The Motor will bolt rt in the K, just make sure the Motor Dont have the later Spool type Mount.Any 68 up 383-440 engine brkt from a car only will work. fact pn#2536121 for motor mount us that no for any jobber guy to crossover.
if stay with a manualthe Clutch Cross shaft will have to be fabricated.

No reason to even go to Schumachers, ajunk yard and a atouparts store will do.

Agreed. I would rather use good factory parts from the yard than spend $150 for mounts that arent even necessary for a bolt in swap.

I don't know about where you live, but around here you don't see any cars in the salvage yards older then 10 years old. You ask for a part for a '60's - '80's car and they laugh at you. as for the auto parts store they can special order things like the rubber mounts but the engine brackets just aren't available. The schumacher mounts are way over priced but at least they are available.

Its true that 40 yr old cars are probably not very plentiful back east. Check ebay or in the classified section of this site & you shouldnt have a problem getting the parts you need. I have extra bb motor mount brackets as well. Good luck!
