What's the best and from what company ?
Speedway Motors has these for $20.00. Do they look cheap in quality ?

Real expensive, but nice looking. I assume their the same height & width as the stock type ?
Any advantages, pro's vs con's ?

Not sure if you are looking for a specific car model type mount? I was looking for quality isolators for my '66 Fairlane 427 and a friend and member Mike Cannon directed me to an Ebay seller who had mounts that replaced the OEM 66-69 Fairlane mounts with these. So far they seem good, well made. I did need to make a 1/8" shim for the driver side to level the engine but no big deal.

Still in the box but I think I will gain header clearance and the engine position is a little bit adjustable,

I also have the same mounts as Doug and Russ in my junk. They seem pretty well made. May have to do some modifying if you're trying to fit them in your Cobra.

Those are what I am going with as well. I cheaped out once going with solid fabricated motor mounts on a street car and I'll never do it again.

$280, but looks well built. Are they the same size as factory stock ?
As far as I know, my Cobra uses stock mounts. "Undy'' might know, so I'll chat with him.

You can pin this style of mount if you are ripping them apart.

I really like those poly-bushed mounts as they make 'em for all Ford muscle car era bodies/engines. But, for the price, I'd only buy them if I was missing all the mounts and isolators from a new resto car. The OEM parts and a driver's side hold down chain or cable is my go-to fix.

Pin the stock motor mounts. It will hold fine and isolate engine vibrations better than poly.

"Pin the stock motor mounts'' ?

"Pin the stock motor mounts'' ?
See the photos I posted above. A pair of counter-sunk 3/8 bolts are used to keep the mount halves from separating and also gives you some vibration isolation that you'd lose with a more solid mount.

Good trick. Thank you.
