First a 1958 came with a 315 poly, is that what you're replacing or a 230 flathead? The 64 poly 318 has side mount ears for motor mounts. There is no provision on a 64 poly for the horseshoe front engine mounts used on early 318 or 315 engines. If you want to use the front mount you'll nee3d a 59 truck timing cover and water pump with a block style motor mount found at DCM. if you're using the later model side mount motor mounts you'll have to fabricate those to the frame.
