It depends on the vehicle. Try entering as many specifics as possible, model year, model, place where you got the 304, etc.

Even a Deutz diesel?

You don't say what 'flavor' of Jeep.....
Stock in a CJ, the 304 used the same bracket shapes and mounts as the
258 uses, they just apparently put them on backward... The anchored the mount in a reverse from the 258 so the metal plate with the safety catch is on the outside vs on the inside for the 258 which makes them look 'upside down'.This is from a thread we had going on here a while back.

How's your success with that Deutz conversion? I've seen a few ford pickups with the 5 cylinder 914 varity of air cooled Deutzes. I'd love to own a Deutz powered anything for fun.
The bomb would be an old crew cab short bed 4x4 with a stick and a turbo charged, air cooled Deutz. It would go anywhere and carry your family in style. Putting on in a HUMVEE would be too cool.
I think you are going to get 70hp out of a 4 cylinder 912 Deutz. Around 180 foot pounds of torque.
A 230 cubic inch diesel will lug you around as well, if not certainly better, than a 230 cubic inch gasser. It will certainly give you desired characteristics above the 258 AMC for lugging mountain passes.
Keep us posted on the health of that siezed motor...inquiring minds want to know.

MORE probably has what you need. They're kinda pricey, but I can attest that mine are bombproof. TrailMarker.
