(Another) 300 Motor Mount Question

I’ve got two new motor mounts for a 300 I6 (from a 1981) that is going into a 1970 F250 4WD. Westar brand, EM2332 and EM2331.

The driver’s side one (2332) doesn’t want to fit. There’s a protruding arc of metal that hits the block where it “lips” out for the oil pan mounting surface. Has anybody else had this happen? I can grind it down, but seemed weird if I were the only one (unless the 300 block changed in some way related to this area and I didn’t know about it).




Protrusion which interferes with block

Noticeable gap

Gap on both side lower bolt areas

May be the aftermarket brand. Try going to some other parts store and buy theirs. Like a NAPA. See if that works.

Notch the engine mount bracket for clearance around the distributor boss.

I managed to find one that fits (link to my other thread in the 300 forum below)

ultraranger, I didn’t have interference issues around the distributor boss, I double-checked just to make sure. As a side note, thank you so much for all of the disc brake info you’ve posted over the years, has been invaluable to me in figuring out what to use with the 78 front axle I have to swap to front discs eventually.
