I'll have to take a peek at mine, and compare them, just figured you may have known off-hand.

I just can't recall any Mk7 guys picking them up.  I would think that yours would be the same as the 5.0 87 Tbird/Cougar.  If you can snap a quick pic or two from below, I could better help ID them.

OK, a quick part number search shows that for your '87, you would use the same mounts as an 87 Mustang.

If you want to snap a picture, I can verify it for you.

I got a few pictures, but I can't upload them, my sd card reader is missing.... I did a parts number search in relevance to the t-bird, and they were indeed different. I can try to grab some pics with my phone, but I have no flash so they may not be all that great.

Yep the Mark VIIs use the same mount as 5.0 Mustangs. I believe they actually used the Mustang convertible mounts which are some what different (not much) than the hard top mounts.

They sit normally at around the stock height.  You can space them up a slight bit (1/4-3/8") if needed with the stock hardware.

I just sent out the last set I had on hand, so I would need to weld up and coat more. 

They run $175/shipped in the US.

Also, please don't ask about shock mounts in this thread. IF I decide to do more, I will post up about it.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
