1952-59 Ford engine mounts

so i was looking at Butch's swap sell it site for the engine mount kit for fitting the 302 in to a 55 and noticed than the part number for the kit is diferent between the 6 pot and 8 pot engines so is the engine mount cross member not the same ? i have the straight six and am weighing up my options

 

I asked this Q a short while back, go to search and engine mounts and you ca find the discussion. Hope this helps.

 

tried search and cant find it

 

I think the number of holes is different. I have a 6 cyl car and it had 2 holes for the motor mounts and the stud on the 302 mount needs to be right in the middle of the two slots.



I just modified my mounts to make the groove longer.


Then I used fox body mustang mounts. I put a level on the motor to make sure it was level side to side. That was all before I found this group with all the knowledge they have. Swap mounts sound so easy. Buy them.

 

Here is another thread with some more pics.

I made a recent post in the "sticky FAQ" regarding these mounts,ANCHOR is outsourcing it's mounts from India and China the rubber quality is poor and there has been issues with these coming apart in a short amount of time these are better alternative:http://www.latemodelrestoration.com...eo&utm_medium=retargeting&utm_campaign=criteo and this transmission mount:http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/LRS-6068AU/79-98-Ford-Mustang-Urethane-Trans-Mount

 

Really? An $8 motor mount is not very good quality? lmao
