1965 Engine Mounts

[D Cluley]

This is part warning, part rant & part question.

Looking at the usual online parts sources there seems to be total confusion between right & left, and I believe that most listings have it backwards. Which is why I have an immobile car sitting in my driveway at the moment.

After comparing pictures with the one that came off my car it appears that the ones numbered 2227 are for the right/passenger side & 2228 is for left/drivers side. Can anyone confirm this?

Pics sure would help. Kim

After digging into this a little more, I believe this is the correct information (and most of the usual online retailers have incorrect listings)

The passenger side mount
1965 Mopar # 2402 182
Aftermarket # 2227
This was used on C-bodies only in '65
This was also used on the B-Bodies for a number of years, so is readily available

The drivers side mount
1965 Mopar # 2465 861
Aftermarket # 2270? (I saw this number one place, but looking for 2270 mostly gets you a different looking Ford part)
This was used on C-bodies only in '65
This was also used on 67-69 A bodies with big block V8s
This part does not seem to be available new currently

*
1965 Mopar # 2402 183
Aftermarket # 2228
This is the drivers side mount for a B Body
This is what rockauto, autozone etc will try to sell you but it is not a C-body part (also they have it listed as passenger side instead of drivers)

It seems that in the past several companies have sold new brackets that allow this part to be used on a '65 C-body, but I am not sure if they are currently available

440source shows references a part number (119-1006) for the bracket, but I don't see it available on their site.

I suspect that you could simply drill an additional hole into the existing bracket, but have not really investigated that option.

I think your on to something. Did u ever get the proper mount. Kim

I have a pair of them removed from a 65 300. I will look for them if you need them?

 

[D Cluley]

Azblackhemi had what I needed, so am all set, but thanks for the offer.

Mostly I just wanted to get all the information together in one place, so the next person searching has an easier time.

@D Cluley I presume you saw this page as part of your research?
'65 C-Body Original B/RB Products

Thanks for mentioning them Mike. I did run across that page when I was looking, but they were/are out of stock, so I moved on & forgot to put them in the post. Hopefully they will put the C body mounts back into production in the future.

The owner of Schumacher pretty much retired, but it has been bought by another company. They may be taking orders before they do a run of parts, or only manufacturing what they think will sell the most. You should contact them if you're interested.

I believe it’s US Car Tool that has the rights to the Schumacher mounts. Kim

Thanks so much for the very useful thread, I just went to change my 65 Polara motor mounts with 2227 & 2228, 2227 fits fine on the passenger side but the drivers side was a head scratcher - this explains why! Has anybody just drilled the top bracket for the single stud? Looks like a simple solution and only a 2bbl poly.
Cheers

Drilling that bracket looks like it would work, and was my plan B, but I was able to get a good used one, so didn't have to try.

 

[NZPolara]

Thanks, i'll get around to it and report back for the next person in this particular basket. I would have gone for the correct mounts too if I had only done my research instead of blindly trusting rockauto.. getting in anything ex u.s takes around 3 weeks for me. I see imperialservices.net has them available in polyurethane for $239 the pair also.

Cheers

Many months later I have an update, yes the poly bracket can be easily drilled to take mount 2228. I used a dremel to grind a pit to accept the nub on the mount also but it probably wouldn't be strictly necessary. It has been on the car for some months now with no issues.

I’m new to the 65 C body scene. I always thought(don’t know why) that the drivers side only had the weird mount. But it appears the passenger side does also. I best be get looking for some big block brackets and mounts. Thanks. Kim
