I bought a set off of Ebay, including engine and frame mounts, used, but usable... cost me $178 (including shipping). Near as I can tell these days I got off cheap, most Ebay motor mount auctions have been topping $200 over the last year. I'll send someone I've bought II parts from before an email and see if he might have a set (he's since quit selling on Ebay) and get you in touch with him if he does.
I tried to find mounts for mine in 1990. Ford was the only ones that had a clue what mounts were in the car and was over $200 then. I ended up drilling the mounts apart and replacing the stud with a bolt and locknut. The rubber had seperated from the steel. Yes, both sides are different.
today i picked up a 302 from a '74 ranchero. it came with the motor mounts on it. i wasn't familiar with what the mounts for the V8 II looked like until i saw this picture that gregski posted in his "this is exhausting" thread. the mounts look very similar, and from some rough measurements taken from my V6 frame mounts, the distance between them appears to be almost identical, within a 1/2". the length of the ranchero mounts is 4" and the V6 frame mount is 3 1/2".
it seems like the ranchero motor mounts might work with my frame mounts using some bushings installed to compensate for the length difference. and that would be awesome since they still make them!
sorry, i don't have access to a digital camera or i'd take some pics.
I have the motor mounts for the Mustang II 302 V8 that I may be willing to part with. They are not perfect, I'm sure they can be scrubbed and painted, but I haven't gotten around to cleaning them up yet, since I doubt I will be dropping my engine into a Mustang II.
Here are some pictures of the motor mounts I took while focusing on something else, I really should take them off and photograph them in depth on my kitchen table... come to think of it, the wife just left for work - here's our chance boys, by the way I am in Sacramento California.
they look almost identical, but like i said, i think mine are a little bit longer. nothing that couldn't be fixed with some bushings i would think.
thanks for the offer on the mounts. that would surely be the practical route; but in the end i'd like to see if the ranchero/torino mounts work. if so, that would be a helpful fact to anyone doing a v8 swap. i just need a cherry picker now!

thanks for that, styves. i don't have $170 right now, but now i know that 66-72 mounts will work. i checked ebay and they have some for $40. i'm sure this will be helpful to everyone.
on another note; i think its funny though that cjponyparts totally skips over the 74-78 mustang II's like they're not mustangs. the menu goes directly from 64-73 then to 79-93!

I'm a new member to the 'Tang II group, and I've found out that engine mount issues are a hot topic. Any leads to find them would really make my day, cause I've spent hours pounding keys to try and locate some. I noticed Gregski posted in May that he had a set, still have them?( Note: MMK3 motor mounts from CJPony Parts DON,T FIT!)
Autozone has a listing for 1977 Mustang 302 V-8 motor mounts (part# 2344), I called them and they told me they would have to order them but they are available.
Those are wrong. I ordered a set into my store when I worked for Orwellianzone and verified their incorrectness. I attempted to get the catalog corrected, but talking to the buying department there is like talking to a brick wall.
There are no ready available new V8 motor mounts for the Mustang II.
You need to find an old set.
I have used two of Brett's rebuilt kits and swear by them.
Sometimes Brett will have complete motor mounts for sale, that is the best way to go if you do not have a set.
Sometimes it is cheaper to buy a rusty basket case donor car for the V8 parts.
Radiator, radiator shroud, motor mounts, double hump trans mount, bellhousing, flex plate/flywheel, oilpan, oil pump pickup, and so forth.
u can order them from ford, cost me $150 a few years ago
