Motor mount design help
I have the jag front end mounted except to install clips on the torsion bar and box the frame. The 289 is ready to pick up from the rebuilders right away and bolt to the tranny for fit up of the motor mounts and tranny cross member. Could some of you post pics of your motor mounts? I would like to use the original style of mount if possible. If not I have the jag mounts and could do like Jeff (Jeff and Nichole) has done but would really like to see some other options as well. Hope some of you can help.

If you have issues with your oil pan and your 289 will accept it, find an oil pan from a 5.0 explorer if possible. They fit the JAG really nice. Of course everybody has a little different location. some mounted higher or lower, more forward or back. Pay attention to the rear of your drivers side head. it sits back farther than the passenger side. Mine clears by about 1/2". I would prefer a little more, but...here is a pic of the pan.

I'm with Jeff. These look like a good simple mount to use. Where did you get them or did you make them?

Just stay away from the mid sump truck oil pans. they are too close to the rack n pinion. And IIRC..the 351W and 302 do not use the same pan.
any other questions for me, I will be glad to help! But I am not a JAG expert by any means, so if anybody else has input, please jump in.

Jeff,
I have a 302 with coil front end in my 52. Rack power steering and got the pan off of something that had the rear sump.l l don't have a clue what to do about the P/S pump. I call the junk yards and they just laugh at me with all the pulley arrangements, mounts, etc.l that were used.
