5.0 engine swap April 27, 2005, 03:29:19 PM i have an 88 thunderbird turbo coupe and i am swaping a 302 into it. The problem i am having is that i cant find any motor mounts for a thunderbird or cougar V8. I am trying to locate the plates that bolt to the engine and frame. does anyone know where i can get some or does any have some i could buy? Thanks for your help! Quote Selected

Re: 5.0 engine swap Reply #4 – May 06, 2005, 09:44:29 AM don't bother with trying to find the bracket that bolts to the engine. just goto autozone and get mounts for a '84-'92 Lincoln Mark VII. they are they same mounts known as "conv mounts"... Quote Selected

Re: 5.0 engine swap Reply #7 – May 11, 2005, 12:28:40 PM so, how would a feller go about getting mounts then?would a mustang k-member have to be used, and mounts, or will the k-member even fit? Quote Selected
Re: 5.0 engine swap Reply #8 – May 11, 2005, 11:10:39 PM you can swap k-members from a mustang to a t-bird but its not real easy and it would cost alot more money to do that. Quote Selected
