Engine mount does not look stock - what is this ?

[billybronco1]

What can you tell me about this engine mount? Is this an upgrade improvement when doing restorations as it surely is not an original stock part - thanks

Float-A-Motor. Throw it into the nearest river and see if it floats, then find some good originals.

Floata Motor,Aftermarket, some like them some don,t Supposed to reduce vibrations but does not tie the engine to the frame as per original ones, Easier to lift engine in & out.

My grandfather and I put them in the Roadster a long time ago, approx 25 years or more. I was pretty young at the time but I vaguely remember the old girl almost shaking herself to pieces at anything over 40mph. If your car is a driver like mine is they should be fine, but if you're going to show it then you'll have to take 700rpm's advice.

This is by no means a show car - maybe a driver

Some people like them, some don't. I see no reason to change them in a driver.

I think one has to check the rubber cushions for hardening.

billybronco1, there has been a lot of previous discussion here about the mounts you have. Here's a LINK to one recent thread with a lot of posts.
