1967 motor mounts for Small Blocks
« on: January 23, 2011, 08:18:45 PM »
 I tried to find an answer on another Mustang site, but no luck.  Can someone explain why Ford had two different motor mounts for the 67 small block Mustangs. I see that some are called tall mounts while others are called short mounts and the tall mounts are for convertibles while the short mounts are for coupes and fastbacks ( I think I've got this right). In the end it seems to have nothing to do with engine position in the engine bay.

I have run into this before we had to change the hard mount to make it work. But I do not know why Ford had two differant mounts. Marty

I've heard that convertibles used lower mounts, but have never verified that through observation and documentation.

Thanks so much for the help.  Talked to those folks this morning and ordered the motor mounts. Quentin

I know that on  69 GT350 conv (at least 15 or so that i have worked on over the years) because of tight hood clearance on that model if you don't use the convertible smallblock mounts the a/c brket will hit the hood. I have seen the tell tale under hood chip marks on many others that didn't use the correct convert mounts. This supports a observation that the convertible motormounts are shorter. Bob
