1973 Mustang Sportsroof. Currently a work in progress!!!
Any idea where I can get motor mounts for my 1973?

NPD doesn't have them...note says..."1973 is very different" That's helpful.

Thanks

Tim

 
For 351C...

73 is "one year only thanks Ralph Nader" designed as a capture to keep

the engine in the car at the time of a headoner.

I modified a 71-2 mount to fit bit of a PIA found a good used 73 mount on ebay

but I still have the modified 71-2 in the car now 1 yr later.

Note: you can get your original mounts redone.

Note Verts mounts have a different engine height.

Note: You can change to 71-2 frame perches and use 71-2 mounts.

Good luck

Paul

It's a 73 car but a 72 engine any...would that make a difference?

Trying to remember...

I had to "slot" the 71 mounts block holes with a cut-off wheel to move it forward I think

and get longer block bolts to add about 1/2 in in height by inserting the next size larger

nuts as a spacer between the mount and block.

I do remember it only took a couple hours and a few cuss words.

Ugg been awhile
