You could try an EF/EL frame and mounts

are you using genuine ford mounts or supercheap s**t?
if supercheap you get what you paid for. make sure you replace all at once, including gearbox My exhaust side mount went about 6 months ago,, replaced them all with new ford mounts and havent had a problem

Ive got the same problem. Ive figured this out... Repco engine mounts ($26) last about 20% longer than supercheap($25). Driving with one snapped leaves dents in bonnet($lots)(
 ), and replacing them with the engine and inlet manifold in($priceless) is just horrible, and should be punishment to those who drive the whores.
Genuine ford would be a good idea... but the hydraulic ones from a wrecker or something would be a better bet. Don't forget the bracket.. Ill be doing that soon... after I fix all the other s**t 
Good luck.

They came on EFs, or was it ELs... lol, can't remember... you can tell when you see one.. Don't buy a new one of these from ford... lol. ($100+ each AFAIK).
Cheers

You can now get urethane engine mounts, they cost about 1 1/2 times more than rubber. Any decent parts shop should have them.

Im about to list GOOD aftermarket engine mounts in ALTEDPERFORMANCE thread
EF/EL won't fit into a EA-ED (from memory) .. unless you change the frame as waggin said . had to change back to the ea-ed ones when i put the EF motor into my car. Last edited by altedxr6 on Thu Jun 30, 2005 12:00 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

ive been through 4 enginemounts (on my 5th) keeps snapping thepassenger side mount, the current one has started seperating but ive had the longest run out of this one, going to go to repco and get the two engine mounts and gearbox mount and hopefully that fixes it

urethane is good, only trouble is they let more engine vibrations through
