[FC] Engine Cover Bolts and Engine mount

[kenharri at comcast.net]

Hi Bryan, 



I am ordering all new mounts for my daily driver restoration.  I would not want to "lose an engine" on the highway.  I suspect that the lower retainer is not present.  This vehicle had alot of good care for a long time but it apparently stopped some time in the last 10 years.  



Thanks for your help!!!

I have not seen this - however, you might check the front mounts as   
well, make sure the trans isn't cocked a little.  In any case, there   
is also a metal sleeve that goes between the top and bottom retainers,   
you should make sure you have all the pieces, or pick up a complete   
used one to use with new bushings.
