Motor mounts

1st Official Post

    Hi all,


    I've been restoring my 65 fastback and I'm getting to the point where I need to finish off the motor mounts. Should they be chassis black or natural?


    Thanks,

    Rick

    Thank you for the great picture. However, I want to know if the cast iron mounts that bolt to the shock towers for a hipo are different from other cast iron mounts. Are they specific for hipos? Is anyone reproducing the cast iron mounts? As always, your input is appreciated.

    The cast frame mounts are different on a Hipo as they are deeper to allow for the extra parts used in the mount assembly. That way the engine sits at a proper height. The casting numbers begin with a C4ZA rather than the C3DA for the standard cast frame mounts.

    66 GT Koupe Dearborn Blue 4 speed
    66 KGT San Jose fastback pony interior Silver Frost 4 speed
    64 Falcon sedan delivery 289 4 speed
    65 Ranchero 289 4 speed
    66 Corvette roadster 427/425 4 speed

    Would the complete PN's be C4ZA 6A030-B (R) and

    6C041-B (L) for the saddles? Among all my spare

    parts as well were 2 insulators but not the upper

    and lower pieces. Guess I'd be searching for the

    proverbial needle-in-the-haystack to complete this

    set.


    64.5 07K has the correct original mounts thanks to

    Shelby 6S 744 donatiing its mounts in lieu of normal
