Aero fox vert mounts are captured, which is better. So one can ask for vert mounts for an 88 GT vert (etc) or use mounts for a 93 (by 93, Ford switched to using vert mounts for all foxes).

Good luck.

We were talking about OEM style mounts. Most aftermarket (poly, etc) mounts dont differentiate verts from coupes, since the aftermarket stuff uses different designs.

Yea its fairly easy with the motor lifted a bit. I switched to the convertible mounts. Had to loosen the driver's side mount and force the little stud in the frame when dropping the engine back in place.

Solids will be harsh if its a street driven car.

Agreed - fairly easy to do the mounts. A search will reveal tons of threads if interested.

I would figure 1-3 hours if it is your first time (allowing time for a bolt to not come out, etc).

Good luck.
