While I was working on the Dart today, I noticed that the engine mounts are completely FUBAR.

Where can I get polyurethane engine mounts and a poly tranny mount for a 225 w/ an A904? And how can I support the engine while I'm changing the mounts? I see no way to hold the thing up :?

I don't know where to get poly mounts, but rubber mounts can be found easily in autoparts stores. Are your mounts the biscuit type or the later spool type?

When I changed my mounts (biscuit type) over the summer, I supported the motor under the oil pan with a very large block of wood and a floor jack. I simply unbolted the old mounts, jacked the engine up, slid the new mounts in and let it down.

They're biscuit, I think. It's a 1970.

I use the same block of wood on the oil pan method. (Never changed the mounts, but i had to pull the passenger side mount to remove my oil pump) Just have a helper to tell you when to stop jacking.
