Hipo motor mounts
« on: June 27, 2020, 03:54:34 PM »
Just put the rebuilt engine and trans back in 6s855 and am puzzled to see that they seem set too far forward.  I believe I may have
mis-assembled the mounts by swapping the top brackets that bolt to the block (C30Z-6068-C) to the wrong sides.  This bracket has a "bulge" that is not centered but offset more to one side.  I've stolen the only picture I could find from Virginia Mustang that seems to show the "bulge" offset to the front.  Mine are offset to the rear.  So before I start jacking to remove my mounts for a redo, I'm hoping for confirmation of my screw-up.

Do you have the original mounts? 6S923 was produced at San Jose 1/12/66 and has the standard mounts and not the HiPo ones.

Early ones were on the car when I got it.  I know now they're the wrong ones.  Have to get the mounts common to all 289's after 11/65.  I'll just add these mounts to my ever-growing extra parts pile.  They may even be original hipo's.  Guess I'll post for mounts on WTB or get good repros if they exist.
