    Rubber Motor Mounts

    I need to replace worn motor mounts.  The engine is a 351 Cleveland.  It is used on the street only - No strip time.  I want to keep rubber mounts for the street.  I don't want polyurethane or solid.  In my reading, I have found that there is some discussion about the quality of the parts (India, China),  the durability of the rubber, and the holes not lining up.

    Here are my local options.
    Mustangs Unlimited - They told me they are from Pioneer Inc.
    Local auto parts -  Anchor
                               Lakewood Muscle Mounts.

    So let me know your thoughts.  As long as they are close  I can grind if needed to make it fit if otherwise the mounts are good quality.  I don't want to have to replace them again in a few years. 

    If there are other good options.  Let me know.  Thanks

    Or you could order stock motor mounts from Rockauto like I did for my 66 289. Bolted right up, no grinding. Reasonably priced also.

    Yeah +1 on what Hornman said. Engine mounts are the kins of things buying @Local Auto Parts Store, when convenient.
    Or Rockauto as mentioned.

    Re: Rubber Motor Mounts

    I was able to get some American made motor mounts from NAPA.  Sad to say they did not fit any better than the Indian ones.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
