35cz8 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I don't know if this will help or if it is what you are needing but if I can help, let me know just what you are looking for. I put a 1959 Plymouth engine in a 1936 Dodge and if I remember right, I had to use the 1936 Dodge engine mount plate and the 1936 engine to frame bracket but it did work. Also, make sure you meaxure the distance the crank (flywheel) sets out from the rear of the block as it might be a bit longer that a 1936 and may require some spacers betweent the block and bellhousing. The engine will work in your 1936, but you may have a few modifications to make it all work together. It has been way too long since I have done that switch for me to remember everything I had to do. I do believe the later engines used a different rubber mount between the engine plate and the motor mount bracket but I think the only difference was the spacing of the studs on the rubber mount. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
