No. 408 Windsor. The bolts connecting the bracket to the engine repeals sheared off on driver side. I suspect incorrect motor mount placed undue stress on them from poor orientation. My friend picked up a larger set from a truck, and welded them such that the rubber is not able to stretch. In effect hard bolted to block and frame. No more issues. I think this was a builder issue, not factory. I don’t have another lonestar to compare against, although the first time the broke I replaced them with recommendations from one of the posts here as I recall. Yes the bolts were grade 8. Heads snapped clean off! I inspect frequently and see nothing untoward so far.
