No, 86-88 mounts are specific. They also suck in stock form. Every 302 86-87 car I've driven had bad motor mounts.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I bought some $20 generic motor mounts from jegs. I drilled out the mounting bolt hole and used 1/2" spacers on the bolt.
