    as if we don't have enough..:biglaugh:
    Has anyone every used the TCP adjustable engine mounts/stands? They are listed for a 64-70 Mustang, so I believe they would bolt in.
    However, doesn't the Mustang engine mounts sit the motor about 1 inch higher in the Maverick engine compartment? If that is the case, I am wondering if you may be able to flip the upper portion, switch it out from side to side, and get your lower engine position back...

    High hp and rubber mounts just don't inspire confidence, ya know? :cool:

    I like the heck out of those, but they are SO expensive for mounts.

    They are very adjustable.
    I do believe they would fit our cars without issue.
    The Stang mounts don't really put the engine higher, just that they don't fit our cars well and have taller looking mounts. It has more to do with the wider engine bay than height.

    Those aren't the ones I was thinking of!!!
    They look close, but are NOT adjustable.
    The adjustable ones can go up/down/side-side 1" per mount, and 3" front to back.
    That is plenty to make up for differences in the mounts...
    These may not work in a Mav.
    The adjustable ones are made by the same folks, and cost the same...
    Maybe they discontinued those???

    I have looked at the Ron Morris mounts, would really like to see if they would work on a Maverick.

    Did anyone ever try these mounts? Did they work?
    Thanks,
