Hello-
It seems the consensus is to use Mustang II motor mounts in the Pinto for the V8 (in my case a 351W) swap....but does anyone know of a good source for the mounts?
I'm guessing the aftermarket (if there is one) is obscenely expensive, and I don't see a lot of Mustang II's in the boneyard...so where did you swappers source yours?
Thanks
Paul
Try Ebay, there are a few on there from time to time. Other than that, post on the Mustang II parts section on Stangnet.com. Someone may have a set lying around. Good luck!
Hi Tigger-
Yeah, found a guy on Ebay, I asked him what his reserve was, he said $100. Owie!!
Thats CHEAP! I've seen them go for $150.00 on E-Bay.
OK, at least i know what price range I'm dealing with...man, that's like a third of the cost of the damned CAR I'm swapping into!
Motor plates are looking better and better!!
Has anyone considered or tried using 302 Maverick mounts for a 351 swap? They're available new for $25 through NAPA and appear similar to the Mustang II mounts...
Any thoughts?
BTW: The mount brackets are not a direct bolt in either. I have a pair of MII brackets that sold on ebay, but the guy never paid. Let me know if you need them. #4512298977

Thanks, but a while back I decided to go with a motor plate kit from Total Performance-
Thanks again-
