1964 SKYLARK V-8 MOTOR MOUNTS

Hi Everyone

I am new to the forum and hope my first question is not too unusual. I have a question regarding the 3OO cu. in. V-8 engine motor mounts for my '64 Skylark. I read somewhere or else someone told me that the '64 motor mounts are unique to the year and not interchangeable with the '65 and later mounts. I guess my question is: first, is this true and, second, what do you do when you need these mounts?

Does anyone know what is different between the '64's and the later ones. Would there be any practical way to adapt the later mounts to fit the '64? I does appear that the motor mounts that are readily available are listed as 1965+.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi,

There are rebuilding services available--google for them.

I seem to remember that either would bolt to the engine block but there is a difference in the pad that bolted to the crossmember. If you change out the metal pad to the '65 or later ones you could use the later engine mounts. Your other option is to have your old ones revulcanized. There are several vendors who provide this service.
