Motor Mounts etc

Post by FreakysFords »

Darlin's munchin motor mounts like certs candies for a smoker on a long flight. Chassis and component alignment are all good. The "whosawhatsit" (Flex O Matic) ford rear springs might be a tiny bit of an issue given I've got tire rub marks on the front and rear of my wheel wells. Certainly can't have anything to do with the driver's inability to act his age.

My first concern is engine / trans mounts that hold up better and still be bearable. Any suggestions here?

Then come the rear suspension decisions I've been putting off for way too long. Anyone know what the overall width of the 9" from a 91 E150 would be? It's already donating it's go parts to the 450.

Many thanks,
Frank
