1979 400 motor mounts

Post by pghcc2006 »

This question has been posted before but no one has answered it so here goes. Are the engine mounts for the 1979 continental the same? because it seems only the right sides are reproduced with is nonsensical to me.

I'm not aware it has been confirmed but Rock Auto lists it under "Engine Mount" not left or right.

My guess is the aftermarket mounts are interchangeable L to R, but I cannot confirm this.

I was believing them to be identical as well but to be on the safeside i ordered the mts part for the right and a dedicated $95 left mount of lincland. If they turn out to be identical i'm going to fell like doody head :? But i won't return it because my engine was just fully rebuilt and my car's been out of commission for most of the summer and i want to salvage some of the cruising season

I REALLY want you to follow up and post back pics of both mounts from multiple angles.

My mechanic installed the engine before i could ask him to take pictures of the mounts (they were shipped directly to his shop) but he says they were identical, so not definitive proof from me sadly but theres that

Sounds like proof to me: both sides are identical.

Pics would have been nice, but if the engine is in, the one mount available works for both sides.
