Tie Down Brackets
Two tiedown brackets were bolted to the frame just
below the rear bumper and were a tiedown bracket for the car during
shipping. Based on research todate, this is our best shot at the
applications for these; The "Short" ones at left were most likely used on
71 - 72 Mustangs with single exhaust. There were two "Long" versions (as shown above), a Straight and an Angled. We
believe the Straight were used on 73 Mustangs with single exhaust. The
Angled ones were most likely used on
71 - 73 Mustangs with dual
exhaust so the tiedown chains wouldn't damage the chrome tips. This page
info will be updated if additional information is discovered. Installed views of Long Angled version
are below.

| Motor Mounts
The 429 Mustang/Cougar motor mount assembly was made up of three
pieces - a Frame Mount, an Insulator, and a Block
Mount.

A word about the 351 C Mustang Frame Mount
We often get asked if the 351 C Mustang frame mount is the same as the
429 Mustang frame mount. The answer is NO. The top surface of the 351 frame
mount is just a little bit taller than the 429 frame mount. This taller
height will prevent the 429 insulator from dropping down far enough to
properly line up with the thru-bolt holes as shown in the photo below;

Insulators
The Insulator is the intermediate piece between the
Frame Mount and the Block Mount. It consists of two metal plates with an
insulating rubber mount in between. An installed view to the Block Mount
is shown below. A long thru-bolt secures the Insulator to the Frame Mount.
