SBF Motor Mounts
My chassis mounts, set up for small block Ford, are like this:
Can anyone guide me to the matching engine mount to mate up to this "standard" chassis mount? The auto parts kids can only deal with OEM references, and have no ability to search for parts that work when it's not vehicle specific.Roger

That looks like a frame mount that will accept a "standard" Ford motor mount. Tell the parts kid that you need a mount for a 1969 Mustang with a 302. That may not be exactly the right one but you can adjust from there since the width of the motor mounts did vary quite a bit. An LTD mount from that same era was a little different in width if the Mustang mount will not fit. Hope this helps.

1963 Falcon Sprint v8 motor mounts may be the same part number you got from Jeff. Those are the ones I have always used when mounting a sbf to the type of frame mount you show there. Those same mounts must have been used on a zillion Fords because they always seem to have them on the shelf when I need them.

Using the PN from JeffB2 and the '69 Mustang tip from Deuce Don I found number 2257 for the motor mounts, and 2253 for the tranny mount. They are a bit more compact than the 2370/2371 units, provided the span is right for the chassis mount. Thanks, guys for getting me on the right track. I was stuck in the '80's and '90's and getting nowhere!!Roger

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
