'83-mid '86 had a similar K-member as the Mustang. The body attachment height is a little off, but the motor mounts are the same. Mid-'86-'88 had their own motor mounts with perches attached to the K-member.

The mid 86-88 style are no only a bitch to replace VS the Stang style, they are also weaker.

Chuck W type 6 mounts remedy that. Yeah, I know, a shameless plug for Chuck.

Come on chuck is my hero. With his mounts i have clearance between the headers and steering column.and the oil pan has pleanty of room between the stablizer bar. Everybody likes how the sits in the car. 351 in a 88 tbird.well worth the money.
