is there a difference in conv. motor mounts

[blownlxvert]

fox body mounts, are they all the same?

 

[venom97]

yes there is a diffrence, i think there stiffer.

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.

is it pretty easy to change your motor mounts out??? i wanna put some solid ones in mine... just jack the motor up a lil?

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.

well, the motor is out on a stand being rebuilt. just trying to confrim that these mounts will be a direct replacement.

Direct replacement-yes.
I just put in my rebuilt motor with CV mounts.
