Default 289 trans mount
Can anyone tell me about transmission mount brackets for leafspring 289s? I understand the 'T-bird' type, with a clamp underneath, was used in early cars. Did AC/Shelby ever change to the more modern 'Mustang' style mount, with bonded threads, and if so when?
As I've gone to the trouble of using a 5-bolt 289 (although toploader rather than T10), I'm planning on going to the early type with Nick's excellent assistance. Just wondered if the later type was ever used in period.
