Motor Mounts

Kevin there is an “A” motor mount on eBay now by itself.
Go to Auto parts and search Mustang II motor mounts.
Says $300 but it’s eBay, make an offer.
Looks like you found a bunch of “B” mounts.

Classic Roadsters Used The Drivers On The Passenger Side And Vice Versa.

The guy at Classic Auto Restorations, who has the rebuild kit, says the Mustang II mounts are one off parts that’s why they cost so much.

You can easily chop/reweld 3/4” off the bottom of the U piece in the frame brackets to lower the motor for intake clearance and get on down the road.

Upgrade to new mounts later and sell the Mustang II mounts then.

The 1959 Checker Superba Limited Edition Series E — El Supremo, had a very unique and durable motor mount that might be useful. Each mount was 35 lbs of solid cast iron for durability and longevity. You want to make sure it is for the car with the starburst grill. Later cars used cheaper fabricated quarter inch steel plate mounts.

The 1962 and later generations, with the cheaper fabricated steel plate mounts, used an egg crate grill with a more sculptured front bumper raised up several inches along with front fender sculpturing for improved aerodynamics.

Early in the model run it was decided to add larger rear wheel openings and rear fenders to accommodate larger rubber generally believed to be necessary to handle the increased torque and horsepower of their then new GM engines.

$300 for a single, rubber mount is way too much. Especially when you can get a set for that wth urithane. Some one's been sniffing too much solvent. They're a mustang shop so they aren't budging.

I gave Ford $100 apiece if you include taxes in 1998.
That’s about $250 each in todays dollars.
I had to have them the parts stores had them discontinued.
