Topic: 1967 motor mounts for Small Blocks 2 Versions

[qman]

 I tried to find an answer on another Mustang site, but no luck.  Can someone explain why Ford had two different motor mounts for the 67 small block Mustangs. I see that some are called tall mounts while others are called short mounts and the tall mounts are for convertibles while the short mounts are for coupes and fastbacks ( I think I've got this right). In the end it seems to have nothing to do with engine position in the engine bay.

I have run into this before we had to change the hard mount to make it work. But I do not know why Ford had two differant mounts. Marty

I've heard that convertibles used lower mounts, but have never verified that through observation and documentation.

I know that on  69 GT350 conv (at least 15 or so that i have worked on over the years) because of tight hood clearance on that model if you don't use the convertible smallblock mounts the a/c brket will hit the hood. I have seen the tell tale under hood chip marks on many others that didn't use the correct convert mounts. This supports a observation that the convertible motormounts are shorter. Bob
