After 11/1/65, The design changed completely. The frame brackets were stamped steel, and the insulator and upper bracket were all one piece (marked C6OE or aftermarket #2257). There was no left or right insulator, the same part was used on both sides. Also after 11/1/65, the unique 289HP mounts were discontinued, all 289 engines used the same mounts.
The most confusing aspect was when Ford altered the angle of the insulator in 1967, which required a new insulator (marked C7ZE or aftermarket #2286) and bracket assembly. This altered the mounting angle of the insulator, to control vibration. Oddly, the 67 frame bracket was compatible with either the 289 engine, or the 390. The bracket varied in the location of the outer bolt hole. This pattern, traced from actual Ford brackets, can be used for identifying brackets, and can also be used as a pattern for drilling when printed out the proper actual size.
In 1968, Ford changed the design again, altering the bracket on coupes and fastbacks to use the 66 style insulator, but retaining the 1967 design in convertibles. This continued through 1970. Oddly, the 1970 BOSS 302 used the 1967 configuration.
Great care must be taken when replacing motor mounts. Although many suppliers offer a correctly-numbered mount for the 1967 design, it has in fact been replaced with the 1966 design, and will not fit properly. Glazier Nolan can provide mounts which fit the 1967 design.
One common misconception is that convertibles had the engine mounted at a different height than coupes. This is a result of force-fitting the incorrect mounts. The convertible mounts were intended to provide the same installed height. The early/late 66 mounts should also result in the same installed height.Originally posted by BaronIf I dissagree with you, it is because you are wrong.
