I need to replace the motor mounts on my 67 .330 cutlass conv. I've seen aftermarket ones that look like cheap rubber or plastic. Should I continue looking for originals? I'm not concerned about using a repro piece, I just want the motor to be secure and stop making that loud noise when I punch it. My brother-in-law told me some horror stories about engines popping and jamming the linkage. Really prefer that not to happen.

 

Originals were metal and rubber, they fail when rubber comes apart. I have not seen any cheap repro's and you may be able to get em from NAPA, Autozone etc.

 

Anchor P/N 2261, about $7 each at Rock Auto. Yes, they are Chinesium, but they also are the newer interlocking design that won't separate even if the rubber comes apart.

 

Thanks for the advice!! I'm glad I joined this site.
