engine mounts August 30, 2005, 07:45:48 PM has anyone used the mustang convertable engine mounts before?i bought a set from advance autoparts and they look similar (from memory)to the mustang/cougar/tbird mounts ,but seem a little weird to me.i know they suppose to set the engine lower,but the locating pin doesnt seem to be in the right location.any thoughts or experiance with these anyone?

Re: engine mounts Reply #1 – August 30, 2005, 11:55:32 PM Kenny, joefriday turned me on to the convertable mounts. I test fitted them and they seemed to line up perfectly on my k-member. Obviously I have not droped the motor in yet but the locating pins lined up just fine for me. I have the 85 bird though, If I remember correctly yours is an 86. I will be thundering away on my car all weekend except for the one day for a family thing. I am off Friday-Monday, nice 4 day weekend, so if you want to compare some parts just let me know. I have the original 85 mounts as well. Quote Selected

Re: engine mounts Reply #3 – August 31, 2005, 04:22:56 PM thanks for the info jason.i thought you had told me you had the convertible mounts but i wasnt sure.yeah,mines an 85 also.gotta 5 day weekend myself.i did have plans to do my engine tranny swap this weekend,but it looks like these gas prices($2.95gal)are gonna cause me to have to wait a little while.turns out i wont be able to use my brothers garage here in town cause of a city ordinance.(we would have to push his fairlane hardtop out in to the driveway and its a little on the gutted and stripped side at this time.)would have to use a friends garage in union county(30miles away).i will most definitly try to swing by friday or whatever day is best for you.

His harness is from an 86, that's where I got that from. I will definately be working on it Thursday night, and all day and night on Friday. If you want to swing by you can. I have that spring for the clutch quadrant if you still need it also. Quote Selected
