I think Dan said Imperial services was coming out with poly mounts. Try them.
I know www.motormountz.com has "stock" type..

If that fails, Damper Doctors rebuild motor mounts as well:

I'm looking for motor (225) and tranny (904) insulators for my '67 A-body. I just checked out www.motormountz.com and their prices seem too good to be true. Does anybody know where these mounts are made? I've heard the ones from India and China should be avoided because of poor quality. Are there any places that have quality mounts? Thanks for any help.

Roger

I have two sets on the shelf. One set made in Mexico, and one set made in India. I have a set of their mounts in my Valiant and Barracuda race cars, for a couple of years, now, with no problems.

I called Imperial Services last week and their answer on the polyurethane safety-lock mounts for '62-'66 slant-6 A-bodies (all the same left and all the same right) was "a couple of weeks from now" again :-( :roll: I'm sure they'll be out eventually, but even I — knowing firsthand how product development can drag out for ages — am getting itchy for a set of those mounts!

The only mounts left in general stock are 3rd-world items made of poor-quality materials, but they're better than nothing, at least temporarily.

Interesting that Damper Doctors rebuild mounts, didn't know that.

The situation is better for the '67-'72 A-body slant-6s; the 3rd-world types are out there but you can also get a very good polyurethane left-side mount from polybushings.com . You're on your own for the right-side mount for now, but one good mount (especially on the oily side, the left) with one 3rd-worlder is better than a pair of 3rd-worlders.

The '62-'72 rear (transmission) mounts are all alike with one minor exception: Through '65 they have two bottom studs into the crossmember, '66-up they have only one. You can use the 1-stud mount in any '62-'72 A-body, but the 2-stud mount only fits crossmembers with two drilled holes. You can get nice polyurethane versions of both types (with immediate availability) at Imperial Services.

The other alternative to 3rd-world mounts is buying 1st-world New Old Replacement Stock mounts from one of the many vendors of such parts. Old Car Parts Northwest has a fair stash of the '62-'66 mounts, the '67-'72 mounts, the rear mounts, and a couple months ago when I was there I counted at least half a dozen of the extremely robust '60-'61 Valiant/Lancer "vertical shear" type mounts, which seem never to wear out. The left vertical shear mount would require welding a tab w/bolt hole to the mount "foot" or to the K-frame if you wanted to use it in a '62-'66 car, but it'd still be a relatively easy and "right now" way to have a sturdier engine mount in a built-up '62-'66 application.

(And since I brought up Polybushings, I did call Johnny over there last week, as well — he's working on our polyurethane spools for the '73+ mounts, and seemed in principle interested in working on some kind of extra-rugged mounts for the '62-'72 cars, either a spool-mount retrofit or a vertical-shear arrangement, perhaps. We both agreed it's best to get the '73+ spools done first, though!)
