Motor mount too big?

i snapped a motor mount in my truck, bought new ones and found that they are not the same size. They are bigger (longer and have a bigger bolt) than the originals... Help!!! Are there differences in mounts between different years?

I experienced the same, and have read of several other members getting the same results. You need to take your vin # and engine block # to the parts house. I finally got so disgusted with three diff. parts places that I used the j/y m.mounts ... and hey, they work great!

i found that the motor mounts for a later model are the correct mounts for this engine. Which kinda sucks, it makes me think that the motor is not the original. If i'd of known that i wouldn't have rebuilt it i'd of put a V8 in for sure.

Oh well, my mounts will be in on Tuesday. Thank for the reply...
