318 to 360 motor mounts

O.K. Guys
I’m sure this has been asked before but I can’t find it in the forum anywhere. I am removing a 318 from a 1974 duster and installing a 360. Will the motor mounts off of the 318 fit the 360 or will I have to purchase new mounts. It is going to have a 727 behind it. Will everything else fit? I’m going to use the intake,starter, and exhaust manifolds,distrubitor, water pump ect off of the 318.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I’ve read in a couple of magazines where you can use a 360 converter with a…
