Vert. Mounts don't fit???

shovelnose · 05-08-2002, 04:36 PM

I have an 83 stang with a 76 motor. I went to switch mounts and the motor sits to high. I noticed they have little dowels about 1/4". I have no holes in my frame for them. Even if I grind them off I don't think it will be enough.

Is there a compatibility problem because of the year of my car. I have heard everyone recommend them. Anyone pre 87 used them?

If I can't use them, what would be a cheap alternative for them. I'm sick of my solids.

Thanks.

as far as I know they should fit any fox mustang you should just have to knock the pins out gring them or do what you have to to get them out .I have never used them I have the energy sup. mounts and I love them (GREAT MOUNTS)

Thanks. How much were your mounts. I got mine for $96 Can. with taxes. Thats why I bought them.

the mounts were 150 from summit they come with the motor and trans mounts. I think you can get just the motor mounts for like 20 or 30 $ cheaper but I love these things they have almost no movement of the motor but still soft enough not to shake the car apart at idle.
