Default Motor mounts

Got on the old girl today and heard the fan hitting the shroud when I nailed it ,so I guess it's motor mount time.

Anything unusual or recommented brand other than regular?
It's just a factory 350 '79.

It's a straight forward job. You might want to replace the plug wires while you have the mounts off.

I used these on my 69. http://www.jegs.com/i/Energy+Suspens...1114G/10002/-1

Seem better than the repo stuff out there than can be really crappy.

I did have one issue with these mounts and that was where they welded the actual tabs to the mount plate. The weld was kind of globed on and was touching the engine mount frame horn and would not allow the bolt to pass through the frame. The weld was too thick.

Sent them back got another pair and the weld was much finer and had no issues with installing.
