Motor Mounts - 6/21/2007 1:58:07 PM    The stang II   Team MF Member #005 Posts: 474 Joined: 9/26/2006 Status: offline Ok, so I need some motor mounts for my car. A '78 mustang II. I called the 3 top stores in the area none even see any in the registry. I looked online, none for my year. The NAPA guy even said, they didn't make a 302 V8 in my year mustang HAHAHAHA. "Uh dude it's sitting in my driveway yea they did." But yea if I go WOT in my car my motor will be sitting sideways in my engine bay. So I really neeed motor mounts!!!! Anyone got em for a 1978 302 V8 mustang? _____________________________ -Rebuilt 302 -Hooker Super Competition headers w/ flowmaster 10 series muffs -Edelbrock Intake Manifold -4 bbl Holley carb Fastest 1/8th mile: 8.8 Post #: 1

Well, it didn't work. : ( BUT what we did was take the old ones and put a bolt through the middle of them and snugged it up with a nut and now my motor doesn't shake nearly as much. So I suggest finding the ones that are supposed to go on our cars. AND I got a part number off of my orignal motor mounts so i'm going to a ford dealership and seeing if they can order some for me. _____________________________ -Rebuilt 302 -Hooker Super Competition headers w/ flowmaster 10 series muffs -Edelbrock Intake Manifold -4 bbl Holley carb Fastest 1/8th mile: 8.8 (in reply to my77stang) Post #: 4

RE: Motor Mounts - 7/22/2007 9:26:15 PM    my77stang Posts: 6878 Joined: 12/19/2006 From: Citrus County, FL Status: offline good luck with that. i used the nut and bolt technique on my last set, and then STILL sold them on ebay for like 75 bucks. IIRC you can find the one side at pretty much any auto parts store, but the other side is a no go. I happened to stumble across a dealer that had a set of original fomoco mounts sitting on the shelf, but they havent made them in years. try phils in alabama, he may have a lead on something - his info is up in the handy dandy "where in the hell do i buy parts for my II" thread i made a stickey up top of our section  (in reply to The stang II) Post #: 5
