289 Motor Mounts

[289ACE]

Nick,
If it is any help, the mounts I have are set up for the dual bolt holes as shown on the original pedestals and carry the Fomoco P/N C30A-6038-A. On the Ace I have with the 289 in it, it has the same mounts and the 2 bolt holes are through holes and use a bolt and nut to attach the mount to the pedestal.

I went out to the shop and compared the mounts I have against the pics above and they look the same except on the ones I have, there are holes in the metal base plate to retain the bolts instead of just a notch where the bolts go. With the new versions, I guess since there is a notch on both sides it holds the mount in place OK?

Looking like some good info thanks guys. I have also been led to this http://www.autokrafters.com/v4/go.gn...&currentPage=1 Which looks to be the one for the bottom. The part number they show is C2OZ-6038-A. John you show one similar except as Jay says these need the eyes off the sides. Part Number: C2OZ-6038A
- Fits 1962-64 Fairlane front LH / RH 221, 260, 289 with 2 barrel carburetor; 1963-64 Fairlane High Performance 289 V8 engines with 4 barrel carburetor; 1962-63 Meteor 221 and 260 V8 engines.
This excellent reproduction is made exactly like the original and is sold individually.

Anyone have one handy they can get me dimensions for the bolt holes?

Mickmate,

Went down in the garage and measured mine. 3.5 inchs. Hope this helps. I'll take some pictures later (when my camera battery is charged) and post them in my gallery.

Uh oh, I measured my C30E versions and they are at 2 7/16", close to 2.5" but well short of 3.5". I also checked the mounts on my car with the 289 in it, and while I could not measure the bolt holes, the mount itself was close to 2.5" wide which would suggest they are also 2 7/16". Could they have come in different sizes or do we have a measurement error?

I stand corrected. Jay's dimensions are correct ~2.5 inches. I posted a series of pictures showing the mounts and the pedestal in my Kirkham. The upper steel piece was from Fran Kress and fits the 7 inch current 289/302 block. Hope this helps.

Thanks for checking Bob. I have been working with Nick on getting some mounts for my Ace and thought there might be a new problem in getting the correct mounts. The 6" vs 7" has already thrown me for a bit of a loop and was worried I had a new problem to deal with.

Hello Bob, In your photos I noticed your mounts have a 3rd piece with the stud attached. Why do you have that? Our original car only uses the top two pieces of the mount shown in your photo and that bolts directly to the chassis mount using the two bolts.

just curious

I sure appreciate the drawings Mark has made available for my dimensional questions. I hope this doesn't stop these types of super discussions of different styles, sources and part numbers. Dennis Carpenter was also quoted as a good source for these parts.

Karl,

The picture showing two views of the mount assembly is a set I bought from ebay (actually the ebay picture). The third piece with the studs must be from some other application and is not used in our cars. It also has the shorter six inch channel section. Sorry for the confusion.
