Thanks for info Chuck . Will 87 thunderbird turbo coupe 2.3 engine mounts(pedestals) fit with 86 cougar xr7 2.3 ? Are they interchangeable can I go with hydraulic mounts ? Any info were to by stock direct fit thanks sal

Look back at my post where I linked to RockAuto (In red) for isolators that you can use. Pick some, hydraulic or solid, and install them into the stock brackets.

The 87-88TC brackets will work for the 86.

Did you read any of the other posts? You never responded to the questions. You just basically repeated your original post.

Do you have your old stock mounts? If not, you're going to need to find a set of used stock 86-88 mounts for the brackets and then but some isolators like in the RockAuto link I posted above? It has SEVERAL options of isolators. The engine type doesn't matter, as ALL of the isolators are the same from 86-97.

We are getting slammed by snow this week, but I will check tomorrow. I think I have 2-3 off 87 cars in storage.

If he doesn't have the original brackets, new isolators aren't going to help. Which was another reason I asked what poly mounts he used, as I'm not aware of any drop-in poly isolators for the stock-type brackets on the car.

As far as "performance" stock type isolators, there really isn't anything. You have to give up some strength to get a smooth feeling in the cabin. I edited my post with the RA link so it could be more easily picked out. The solids are probably the stronger of the two, but give up a bit of smoothness.

If you still have stock brackets, pick out a set of isolators and move on with things.

So, I'm looking for an injector harness for a 5.0.

I thought I was going to need more of a harness, but I can make use of most the CFI harness and just need to deal with hooking up the injectors.

Let me know what you have. Thanks!

I think he is actually just asking if the originals were solid or hydraulic, which im guessing means he doesnt still have the originals handy.
I dont know about the 2.3l ones but my 3.8 v6 originals were hydraulic.
If the isolators are all the same i would just pick up the hydraulic ones since they are available.
