So I pulled the motor out of my 67 std and need new motor mounts because they are torn. The PO put the 351 Cleveland in so I dont know what he may have changed already. After some research I dont know what I need. I read that the mounting pads are different from 68 and that i need those in order to use the repro mounts. My question is how do I tell what I have and what I need. I cant find any part numbers anywhere on the parts I have.
Thanks
Brian

Brian,

Look at the first two listings here: http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/search_sorted.asp?Keywords=67+engine+mount and note the dimension they cite for the frame side hole to the engine side hole on each. Hold your torn mount together, make the same measurement and compare. One of the two should be the right one for you. Hope this helps.

Regards,

Bob

Bob,
Both of those mounts show 4 1/4 inch measurement but are listed as short and tall.

Well that can't be right! I'll have to measure one I have in the parts collection, I'd bet it is the tall one and is 4 1/4".

the one i have is 4 1/4.. What I still dont get is the difference in motor mount pads from 67 to 68. Don sells one mount that states you have to have the updated pads, so maybe mine were already changed. If they were though I wouldnt know how to tell.

If your motor mount look like the ones in the two pictures in the link I sent, I think it is safe to assume your frame mounts have been changed. I will check a mount tonight and let you know, pretty sure I will find 4 1/4" as well which I believe would indicate the "tall" mount.

I am pretty sure you would be safe buying the later style (tall) mounts, but will measure one from my junkbox for you if it would make you more confident.

4 1/4" on the mounts I have, so if you were to buy the second on the list you will be fine.

I went to napa today to get some supplies and ended up buying a set of mounts for 69 cougar with a 351 and they are a match to the ones I currently had so looks like I have one issue solved. Thanks Bob

Good job Brian! Glad I could help.
