I am using standard Ford motor mounts, steel and black rubber. Same for the tranny mount. I tried to buy urethane mounts but couldn't find any. The side pipes are mounted to the headers with a flange so there is no give there at all. I used rubber bushings between the side pipe brackets and the frame bracket but the engine (and pipes) simply move too much.
I have rewelded the broken side pipe mounts and bent the mount a bit to allow for more room between it and the frame and I have now used slightly longer bolts on the rubber bushings to allow them to move more but I think it is probably just a matter of time until I break the pipes again.
Does someone make urethane motor mounts for the 351W? I assume they would limit the engine movement quite a bit.
