Product Description
Maximum Motorsports Quality
Regular motor mounts on high horsepower applications can fail, break, or flex which causes failure to get all of your power to the ground. To aid in stopping power-robbing chassis flex on your 1979-95 Ford Mustang 5.0L, grab a set of these Maximum Motorsports solid motor mounts that fit stock and MOST aftermarket k-members. Constructed from high strength steel, you can bet these Mustang solid motor mounts will last a very long time!
The Maximum Motorsports Solid Motor Mounts are a really nice and effective piece. The black finish is also nice. I did have a little trouble installing them, which was really my own fault so I thought I would share a few tips I learned in hope that it would help someone else. First I had a hard time removing the drivers side mount since it wouldn't clear the frame and oil filter. I jacked the engine up with a floor jack and board under the oil pan. I placed the nut on the passenger side mount, leaving a good bit of slack. This allowed the engine to tilt more on the drivers side than the passenger side, creating enough room to slide the drivers side mount out. Next I lowered the engine enough to take the tension off of the passenger mount, loosened the nut, jacked it back up, and then removed the passenger mount. The new mounts bolted right up. There is a little bit of play in the two mounting bolts that go to the engine, so leave the bolts a little loose until you get the mount to K member bolt through the mounting hole. Since this is a rigid mount, there is no flex and the mounts may not go in if you completely tighten the mounts to the motor first. Learned this the hard way! After you get the mounting bolt through the K member mounting hole, tighten up the bolts that fasten the mount to the engine. Let the jack or support down and tighten the large nut. Here are a couple of things to do before you start to jack up the engine. Loosen the fan shroud up so the fan is not in a bind, and loosen the transmission mount nuts. The engine has to be jacked up a good bit, and both of these items are points of bind. Don't to forget to tighten everything up. One thing I would like to see is a larger flat washer for the mount to K member nut. Other than that, this is a great product.
Yes, I would recommend this item to a friend!

These mounts fit perfectly and don't seem to have raised my engine at all allowing me to keep all of my under the hood clearances the same. Comes with new nuts and washers.
