Trick FE motor mounts ?

[FUNFER2]

What brands are out there for trick, high quality motor mounts for the FE's ?
Billet or steel with vibration rubber or urethane.
They would have to be the stock height or lower.

Let's see if you can find some for us, I didn't have any luck. Our mounts cross over to a 65 to 67 Galaxie 500 with a 390. There's just no source for any performance ones. I just put another set of OEM ones on last Fall. The original were torn, melted and what wasn't torn was sagging.

You can drill them and install a couple movement limiting bolts, welding the bolts and nuts so they don't loosen up. I'm still considering boxing them in and making them solid mounts. Let me know if you find a source.

Here's a picture. I believe yours is the same as mine.

Not too sure how the mustang/cougar motor mounts compare to the cobra ones, but if they're close, maybe you could convice TCP to make a chassis bracket for the cobra.

The FE brackets lower the engine about 1" on the 'stang
Anyway these are the ones I have for mine;

I'll also vote for these mounts. Eliminated unwanted engine movement without the problems associated with solid mounts. Craig's mounts are a work of art.

I also installed a poly transmission mount in place of the typical OEM style rubber mount.

Undy- yep, those are what I have as well.

FWB- I couldn't find what we need. What link on the site shows them ?

jwoodard (how ya doin buddy)and Rodger-

Now those look awesome. The adjust ability and being billet is great. With my cam profile and 110 lobe separation, it really shakes my car and side pipes, and with the side oiler I plan on building with possibly 108 sep., I'm sure it will make it worse. Maybe with these, it will help. How is your comparison ?

But damn,..Almost $400 w shipping,.....wow ! Maybe we could get them cheaper with one of my "Group Buys"


67- I like them with the urethane bushings. I may call them about your idea for cobras.

ng- I don't know why I did not think about Tom's. Thanks.

My votes for the Kirkham mounts. Although I suspect they are thicker than the standard mounts.

Try Kirkham's they are nice

the chassis to the mount isn't the problem its the rubberized mount and engine plate that is a bit whimpy. while the total performance mounts look nice the motor plates and mount don't seem to offer any extra meat, maybe less than factory mounts. i shopped mounts 4 years ago when i went from a 351C to the 427 and the crites mount won me over. a broken motor mount can mean a couple thousand in body work.....

What we do to the 2-bolt 427 mounts.
