Motor Mounts

I bought my 78 with no motor in it. The frame part of the mount is on the frame, along with the rubber. If i'm correct, im missing a piece that bolts to the block and also to the rubber of the mount. Does anyone know where i could get this part?

It depends what engine your talking about.The rubber mount bolts directly to the motor,unless your talking about a 385 series.They use a 3 piece mount system; (1)frame "perch" (2)rubber "insulator" (3) metal "cup" that bolts to motor.

the 302- 351W use that mounting style as well. The metal cup is available at salvage yards, but not likely at parts stores, not common to have one fail.

Im sorry but im not familiar with the term "385 series". It's a 460, and from what i can tell, the only bolt that goes through the rubber runs parallel to the crankshaft.

385 series is 370,429,460 c.i. You'll need to find the "cup" mount that bolts to the engine,that will bolt to the rubber mount you have now.

Please,
Always mention as much information as possible when asking about something so we don't have to guess about some things.

Here's an illustration of the mounts.

New INSULATORS (the middle part) are available from Ford.

You can see what engine series a certain engine is by looking at the listing on the main forum page.
