I think I want to cry

I'll betcha they're generic SBF mounts (cheap at any parts store), and here's why...

1) Most people building a rod would not offset the engine as the II is

2) The stands are to be welded onto the crossmember, I would imagine

3) Per the above, there would be no need to replicate the oddball II mounts, since the stands do not have the offset engineered in.

Hopefully (for those that didn't stash a new set of OE mounts), I'm full of it...

not really sure why the mounts are so different :shrug:
the offset is in the frame extensions
 
I dunno, but I'd sure like to stick my foot up Lee Iacocca's *** for his hair brain way of adapting the 302 to the Mustang II. :mad: WTF was he thinking??? :notnice:
The Mustang II is the ONLY mass production Ford (that I'm aware of) where the longblock was retrofitted into an existing chassis with special one-off parts rather than re-engineer the chassis to fit the longblock with the standard, already in use parts of other 302 powered models. Makes for a real PITA, Lee.... :owned:

the frame extensions are bolt on right?

Why not get vince or other crafty engineer to mock up a set to fit stock motor mounts. It would be a one time purchase still taking into account the offset for the power steering knuckle
