Rear Bumper Fillers

[supercoupe]

wow all these little tidbits you would of never known without these great forums, so now we learned the 73 rear bumper is mounted differently than the 71-72 because of this silly 5 mph impact law, now I know why no one sell a repro 73 rear bumper brkt!

why are 73 parts so hard to come by? sounds like less trouble to get the 71-72 brkts and forget the rubber quarter panel fillers and metal bumper panel filler, they are expensive on ebay and I just bought one! dang!on another note I cant find motor mounts for a 73 351 cleveland engine, how come?

Since I had a few earlier posts on this thread with guestimates... here's another... I wouldn't think the motor mounts would be different for a 351C from 71-72? I'm sure there'll be other's along to confirm or correct my guess

I ask because all listing in parts catalogs only show 71-72 motor mounts for 351C and not for a 73? thanks bro

The 73 mounts are different. They are a locking design.

The 73 has less new and Reproduction parts available than all the 65-72 years..uggh!

You would also need to change the quarter panel extensions

Clam shell type motor mount kit available at summit racing,

Look up member " totaled " I think he got the kit.

Or switch your frame mounts to the 71-2 mounts and then use standard motor mounts
