What year Mustang do you have?

 

No offense Soaring, but from the looks of their username, I'm going to assume they have a '68.

 

You know what assuming will do don't you?

 

Haha, yea I do, but I think I'm fairly safe on this one.

 

you need more them just motor mounts you need a new rear end driveshaft front spindles and hubs front springs all from a v8 car. the motor mounts you need v8 motor mounts and brackets.

 

Use the stock mounts and insulators for your car, which I believe to be the same for 66 and 68 through 70 (67 being different). You can use '65 mounts and insulatorswith the understanding that the engine will sit a bit lower.

If you want to go aftermarket, Ron Morris Performance sells a nice set, though they cost more and don't look stock. The nice thing about them is that they are adjustable so that you can move the engine just so, lining up the T5 in the tunnel without the need of trimming at the shifter.

Good luck!

I used these for my swap, a little pricy, but considering that you need everything from the frame to the engine, it should be cost effective. It is a very simple kit to install, and if you decide to use it you will be impressed......

It was a very simple bolt up on my sons 66.

I think that these are the same set that gothand mentioned above.

<<I found these as well, they are a little cheaper, but it looks like they might not be strictly a bolt in thing,, probably drill and bolt in...>>

I used Lakewood's Muscle mounts for mine, it's basically a beefed up vulcanized rubber setup, same as factory, looks totally stock, only they're a bit thicker and way tougher. I had problems with cracking factory engine mounts, but haven't had any problems with these, even with the power I put out. If you plan on having any amount of horsepower I'd recommend at least these, or something tougher

 

I have a 68 coupe. i do plan on eventually changing out all the suspension and everything else needed to do the swap. My car is in Fl. and i need to move it to my new duty station in utah. I basically just need it to bolt up and hold during the tow. Thanks for all the replys i got what i needed.
