Does anyone make solid motor mounts for an 80s Vic?

I severely doubt it. Though you could make one of your own by removing the rubber from yours and welding some round stock just big enough for the bolt to pass through in there and filling the space with enough bracing to make it stay put (probably more of the same round stock to fill the gaps would work a treat and give optional positioning choices).

I'd be curious about drop mounts too, but I've never seen any performance mounts for these cars. I agree that easiest would be to just weld something. Normal mounts are cheap. Buy 3 pairs for 50 bucks and experiment.

Being primarily a GM oriented guy, are the vic mounts unique to only the vic? Can't utilize a poly engine mount for a mustang with the vic clamshell?Comment

Thanks for the responses. I did a bunch of searches and couldn't come up with anything.
Thank

You can get poly filler for the mounts, but that requires drilling the spot welds to take the two halves apart, putting said poly filler in place of the rubber and then welding it back together or bolting it on the frame and hoping the halves don't shift.
But yeah... the frame half is specific to the panthers... or so I figure from the application chart on rock auto for the mounts.

Panther mounts is panther mounts. The Mustang ones are completely different. Having changed both types, I can tell you the Fox mounts are much less difficult to deal with.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Was just gonna say the same thing. Those are 100% fox mustang mounts. I know them well.

What are the benefits of these? Rigidity, closeness to frame (manifold clearance), erosion resistant?

Mostly rigidity from what I understand. It's not really practical for the street, it's mainly used for strength in racing. Usually cheaper, too, if anyone makes them. Just a big hardened metal bracket.Originally posted by BigMikeIT View Post89 Grand Marquis GS.
