There was a post a few months back about this. They do make some heavy duty motor mounts for out trucks. But you have to get the tranny mount from them as well so everything matches and moves the same, Autofab will tell you about it. FYI- I'm running right around 500 hp in my F100 and the stock motor mounts are fine. It is a street truck, so I guess if you are going to offroad with it then it would be a good investment, other than that I wouldn't waste the money. :2cents:

My 67 Super Stock Mustang had stock mounts at 455 HP and 566 ft pounds and I only broke the driver's side once.

I wouldn't wast the money either. :2cents: 8)

May I ask which web browser and operating system (types and versions) you're using? The web site has a glitch that causes some computers to display portions of the text in an invisible fashion. You can actually see the text if you click near the top of the screen, hold the mouse button down, and drag the mouse downwards, since it will highlight the hidden text that's there.

These screenshots were taken from a Windows XP Professional x64 Edition computer, running Firefox 3.5.5. You can click on them for full-sized editions.

Here's how the Autofab "Motor Mount" page looks by default:

And now I've used the mouse to highlight all of the invisible text--you can see it all now, including the FE motor mounts and Ford truck transmission mount(s):

On December 31st, 2008 I ordered the Autofab FE and T18 (same for C6) mounts from John, over the phone. I paid a total (including tax and shipping) of about $445, which I thought was fair. The quality is these mounts is very high!

You may wish to review the thread wherein my complete experience with the Autofab FE and transmission mounts is documented, including many photos and special implementation notes.

FE and T18/C6 mounts from Autofab, plus frame alignment.

Power By Ford 70 F250 4x4, I wish you the best of luck with upgrading your engine mounts!

While I'm sure you're right about the stock mounts holding up fairly well, perhaps the Autofab (or other upgraded) mounts may be money well-spent if a person wishes to break their driver's side mount zero times, instead of only once.

I'll bet your Mustang was a lot of fun to drive!!! I've never been in something like that before.
