86 was the first year for the pedestal mounts. ALL TBirds/Cougars/Mk7s switched to that style mount. Regardless of engine.

The RA link I posted in my last post has both hydraulic and solid mounts listed.

Wasnt 86 the transition year for motor mounts, from the block type to the pedestal ones?
I dont know about the 2.3 ones but my original mounts on my 3.8 v6 86 tbird were the hydraulic pedestal type. When i replaced them with the only available replacement, solid type, the motor shook and the car vibrated thru the steering wheel for months afterwards.

What mounts did you install? Regardless, poly are going to transmit more vibrations than the big stock gumballs. Especially on a 2.3T.

Did you save the old motor mounts, especially the bracketry? On the 86-88 you can just replace the isolators.

RockAuto can be kind of screwy on things like this.

They show squat for 86-88 2.3 cars, but plenty for the MN-12 cars, which use the same isolators. You could use any of the mounts listed ROCKAUTO LINK HERE with the stock brackets.

go over to rock auto and order either type.

you may have another issue though if its not firing right.

tell your mech he can pull the codes or you can with just a paper clip or a test light.
