has anyone seen mopar flathead 6 motor mounts like this?

I have an early 50's Dodge truck 230 CI flathead 6 powering my 1936 Plymouth. This engine normally has one ("floating power") engine mount in the front and a couple of donut shaped engine mounts between the rear two corners of the bell housing and the cross member.

My car was an unfinished project when I got it so I am trying to identify stuff still. The rear motor mounts that I have do not appear to be stock (fabricated or taken from some other application). The rubber is getting pretty worn but the metal parts are good. If it turns out that this is a common part found on some car it would be helpful to me to identify it. If not, I think that I could fabricate the rubber parts. Here are some pictures. I am hoping that if this is a common mount from some other engine that someone will recognize it. I have a view from the front and rear where the mount sits between the rear part of the bell housing and the cross member.
Thanks,
Rebecca

 

looks like the mounts in my 35 dodge p/u (motor is a 230 from 1952) ****** is stock 35 and I think the mounts are 33 to at least late 35 as they mount to the stock crossmember. The basic cab design went a few more yrs but I'm not sure when those got redesigned. I am positive they are stock dodge mounts but other than egay I don't have a source for replacement. Can you fab up new rubber mounts (I need to look stock though as mine is being...........restored DAvid

 

The bell housing you show in the pic is not a 1950. I have a 49 and the bell housing mounts to the side rails of the frame, there is no cross brace for the ****** to mount on. I also have a 48 and a 50, the truck mount is different than a car which is what the pic bell housing looks like. I'd say the fellow who done the work may have used a combo to come up with the mounting. A 1950 had a 218 cubic inch engine (23" long head) with front oil pan sump, so the engine is a newer model or a canadian motor.

Hi Rebecca -

Here are some photos of later model bell housings. They are different than those on your car, making it perhaps more likely that your mounts are ealier MoPar.

Here is the bell housing from a 1952 Dodge (218 motor like on a Plymouth). Note the distinctive motor mounts on the ears of the bellhousing. Also note that this truck engine had the sump in the front, with a separate dipstick tube - the 'normal' dipstick tube is blocked off:





Here is a photo of a late forties/early fifties p***enger car bell housing and ******. This one is a 52 OD ******:



Here are two 218 engines, one truck and one p***enger car, side by side. Yes, this is my twelve cylinder motorcycle trailer:



The p***enger car motor has the sump in the rear. These photos do not directly answer your question but hopefully they will help you hone in on it. BTW that is a lovely area of MA.

 

My 230 is also from a 1952-54 Dodge truck. Intresting coincidence that we both have ghe same engine and the same mounts. I am thinking that my cross member is not stock. Do you have any pictures of your engine mounts (that you say look like mine). I am just curious. My usual mopar sources don't list any other mopar mount other than the common ones (I have never seen anything like mine).

Thanks for the info.

MYSTERY solved. This mount appears to be the stock 1936 mount. Well known old mopar parts dealers list something completely different for 1936 so I thought it was not stock. However, I just found one on ebay that is listed as correct for 1936 and it looks just like this mount. so I must have stock bellhousing and mounts. not sure about the transmission yet.

thanks for the pictures.
