I have been trying to find the correct rubber mounts for the rear mounting of the 223 in my '64 F-100. The shop manual shows "donut" rubber mounts at the fly-wheel housing for that engine in the F-100. And that is what is on my truck. The rubber mounts at the rear look just like the single mounting rubber at the front of the engine.

But, a supplier (NAPA) shows a completely different rubber mount for the rear of the engine (flywheel housing). This supplier show for the F-series what the shop manual shows for the P-series.

What's the deal? Can I use the rubber mounts for the front of the engine at the rear mountings?

 

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 14-Nov-02 AT 01:49 PM (EST)]I have a 64 262 and the motor mounts are the same front and rear. When I got mine, the 223 and 262 were listed as the same. All of the places I buy parts from have great support staff's. Have you tried asking them?

PS. I have never had any luck with NAPA offering any technical assistance.

 

berkad,

Where did you get your mounts?

I've actually made mine out of an old tire. Fairly simple and straightforward. I posted it some time back. They work great and it is a daily driver. The cost was an old tire and about 1/2 an hour; plus a good utility knife and a blue ball point pen. Oops, and a six pack of brew, after I finished the cutting. The made up mounts work great. If you're interested, e-mail me.

I checked my packaging (I never throw anything away) Mounts all listed as Transmission mount. Worked fine for me.
