Alright quick question since im amongst blue oval guys...I got the cradle motor mount setup that makes it look like the motor is floating type deal...anyway they actually use a rubber motor mount that bolts up to the motor itself, in the factory location...where the hell can i find a replacement for that...i was thinking i could goto carquest and try to match it, but i figured i should come to you guys first and make an ass out of myself... :banghead:

I have the same setup and just took my old mounts to autozone and we had to look through the book and order them. They were in the next day.

I think i heard or read somewhere , they used car/truck motor mounts in the boats on that type set up.
Or maybe im on crack ???
Im leaning towards the crack ;D

yeah i think the ones i have are for a t-bird or something. but i did have to look through a thick catalog for a while until i found the exact ones i had.

I use to own a 1970 "T" Bird and the problem with that was it had a 460 in it, and what really was going on, that year of "T" Bird, with the exception of a few (who knows how many 100's) came with a 429, the 460 version really was a "T" Bird body mounted on the Mark IV which did have a 460. Once I got that figured out, I would go in and order parts for the Mark IV and take them home and put them on the "T" bird. So. take a look at mounts for the Mark and see how they look compared to the ones you have.

That's what they keep telling me, but I keep forgetting why.
They say the memory is the second thing to go :)
