perches for 351w

Is there any auto parts store that carries engine perches? If not, is there any trick to getting the perch off? I would rather not spend hours drilling out those big rivet things holding on the drivers side perch.

I just made another post about perches! I don't think you can get the perches at a store. They have to be a boneyard special.... Do you have a picture of them that you could post for me please? Also, what tranny do you have?

Grind the head off, then use a chisel to wedge in between the frame and the perch.

I find using a center punch, and then using a drill bit to get rid of most of the metal on the head of the rivet is fastest for me. With most of the metal drilled away, then the chisel works very fast.

You ordered 302/351W engine mount supports from a dealer for $70.00 each? (302/351W's use the same ones).

You got a deal on the left side.

EOTZ6028d .. Right Engine Support-302/351W (aka tower, bracket, stand, perch) EOTZ6028d (**) replaced EOTZ6028C

MSRP: $72.38 / FTEpartsguy.com price: $52.12

EOTZ6029D .. Left Engine Support-302/351W (aka tower, bracket, stand, perch) EOTZ6029D replaced EOTZ6029C

MSRP: $149.33 / FTEpartsguy.com price: $107.52

Fit: 1981/89 F100/350's & Bronco's / 1990/96 F150/350's & Bronco's.

** Why the small d after 6028?

On FTE you cannot type the number 8 followed by the capital letter of D without getting this:
