428 engine mounts

By John UK - 08/02/2004 7:37:13 AM; IP 194.60.85.4

Due to a cracked bore and engine theft (!) I've had to replace the 390GT in my 68 Cougar with a 428. The mounts I purchased didn't line up with the block bolt pattern but I got three bolts in and changed them over (left to right - right to left).

Now I've fitted the Hooker Super Comp headers (I can hear some of you groaning with pain) they're tight, tighter than something thats really tight! This seems common for the situation but I was concerned that I may have got the wrong mounts/insulators?

Royce has said in the past that FE mounts in these bodies/years are common, or have I got to go through the engine out pain again?

This thread, so far...
