I need to put motor mounts in my 88 LX hatchback.

I read somewhere that convertible mount are the way to go.

Has anyone done this before, do they fit right in or is there some trick to it ?


Comments please!

Thanks Joe

I think they drop the engine about 1 inch....lowering the center of gravity

They vert mounts are a superior captured design. This is why by '93, all 5.0s got the vert mounts.

I'd do it.

Good luck.
