Motor Mount Help

Hey FABO,

Does anyone know if there is a 1.5" version of the biscuit style motor mount available?
Thanks for any replies.

I don't know whether you are wanting thicker or thinner, but there were some van? truck/ other/ pads that were thicker than the original A body ones I ended up with some out of a junker I guess. I was thinking my originals were compacted but the "new" ones were too thick.

I wonder if that is the 2265 part number?

I have heard of an “R” block but never a “Cat” block.

I bought some new ones from summit or jegs about 7 years ago and they were noticeably thicker than the ones that were on the car.

Big difference. I needed the thicker mount

The link below has some valuable info. It was made for an Early A, but I imagine the info could apply to others.

That's great info, thank you. This is for a truck application, so I think that's exactly what I need.

It took me and my hard head a long time to learn the trick of getting a motor to easily sit down on the frame in a 72-93 Dodge pickup! I finally learned that I needed to leave one rubber biscuit loose on the motor mount bracket to get both sides to drop into the holes in the frame, then line the loose one up and drop it down and then tighten the biscuit. That probably applies to any thickness of rubber mounts you use, so hope that helped.

Yes sir, thanks for the info.
