Not Ranked
I used the Energy Suspension polyurethane motor mounts for their '79 up SBF. However, I had to make a pair of frame mounts to use them. I sent the cardboard mock ups and drawings to Pete at CR as I understood them to be switching to late Mustang motor mounts anyway.
Was not crazy about the flimsy looking small block frame mounts from CR, or the rubbery hold the OEM Ford MII motor mounts held (or didn't hold) the engine in place.
Added to this was the fact that when using a 351W, and a high rise intake such as the Ede Perf RPM, and a Holley (now a Demon) and some kind of dinky air cleaner; it sits too tall to close the hood. The frame mounts need to be lowered 3/4" - 1" anyway, so I might as well make a set to use the better poly mounts. When you lower the engine, you have to lower the trans a like amount. But they do work very well. Also used the E.S trans mount. Rock solid, no vibrations, but the car rocks a little with the engine idling.
If CR, or Don, or DV uses a late Mustang frame mount, these are the ones to use.
