Buy them or make them..the motor mount issue!

[pedrossplash]

OK, I know this has been discussed many times already. I've tried to read up on it but there is just too much info to cover.

So what would you recommend? I am able to make the motor mounts, but I'm not sure if I want the hassle of trying to get it perfect. I know it could take A LOT of modifications.

If you recommend buying motor mounts, can you tell me what to get and where? Do I need to modify anything with them?

Thanks to everyone who responds!

I recommend that you search and start reading. "Too much info?!" How can that be??? Could you become too knowledgeable to do your swap?
I'd be willing to bet that the problem is not "too much info". But, so much info that you get exasperated in the search. And to that, all I can suggest is, start reading. If you don't "want the hassle", why are you doing a swap?

I agree with Wade, the question you're asking has a simple answer. You're the one doing the swap in your truck. We're not going(not that we couldn't, more like we can't) to do it for you. If you have a problem figuring out the answer to this simple question, you need to give up the idea of doing a swap now.

id go with mustang convertible mounts 1985, thats what ive used before and they work. They have a welded bolt tho so just cut it out carefully around the weld. Bolt the mounts to the engine and set the engine into the truck. Get it where you want it then mark the holes, remove engine, drill holes. Set the engine back in and put the bolts that you cut out back in through the holes. If you drilled correctly it will all line up good.

This web site may help...

Link doesn't work. Looks like something you've got save in C: drive, rather than a URL. Pedro is in the right place. He's just not searching and reading. Too many new members seem to want someone else to give (spoon-feed) them the info, without doing the research. Research takes time and sorting through the piles of reposts.
