440 motor mount question
« on: July 26, 2016 - 12:37:47 PM »
Getting close to installing the 440 engine in my "Cuda and have a couple of questions re motor mount brackets.  FYI, the engine was out of the car and the mounts/brackets removed when I bought it.  I think I've read there is a difference between the right and left side mounts/brackets.  How do I tell the difference?  Secondly, can somebody post a picture of the brackets installed on the engine.  It would be a great help to see how the brackets are oriented/mounted on the block.  I also have several different size bolts, nuts, washers, all mixed together and I'm not sure which ones are used with the  motor mount brackets.  So pictures of the brackets installed on an engine would be a great help.  Thanks.  :feedback:

Your welcome, I noticed there is one of the passenger side also.
I so far only replaced the drivers side with the Mancini Mag mount.

I've used Mancini Mag mounts on 3 cars now and all worked/fit perfectly!
