Motor mount cushion question.

[toddstal@yahoo.com]

Here is my dilema, upon trying trying to replace the front motor mount cushions we contacted memphis equipment for them. To my dismay we got the rear ones, upon calling we were told that they were the same as the fronts.

unfortunately the fronts are completely different. the rears are 3 1/4 inch across at farthest point and the fronts are 2 5/8 at farthest point.
it was explained to us that this truck, a 65' kaiser probably had the lds-427-2 model engine in it. It's been retrofitted with an 88' white 465 1c and the retrofit has some different front mounts..
anyone know more about this, like perhaps where to get these smaller mounts, or a part number i can search for.?

i guess i should be thankful i dont have the "bad engine" but the regular mounts just will not fit in the front.

thanks for any info .

We swapped and LDS motor from one truck to another. It was a similar deal. Let me see if I can find the left over mounts and I will get back to you.

Here is an site that I came across a few years ago shows how to reuse a motor mount.
