I have an original 6 engine mount welded to the body/bolted to engine. For all I know the rubber mount is vintage 1971. The rubber looks to be in great shape. How long do these things last? Should I replace? Good old AA has them for $400
*edit* just to clarify I'm talking about the sepaate rubber portion of the mount
The factory mount is designed for engine weight to be compressed (resting on top of the rubber mount) instead of hanging on the rubber. I have not seen this part wear out on cars that are stored and serviced properly. I believe mine is original and no problems.
Nice! Any other experiences out there?
Never had any problems with my original engine mount.
Depending upon the engine output, you might want to look into bracing the original mount to the body. They did this on some of the later GT's.
I like that! I may do that.
Mine's still holding up fine!
