Good feedback on the use and cautions of the speedmount. Thanks, didn't know about them.

Today's replacement of choice is the mount set from a V8 Volvo.

The Ford / Anchor / Corteco solid mounts are manufactured now by a cost-cutting group that reduced the amount of rubber in them by 20 to 30%, causing them to sink.
Out of 5 sets, one has sunk for me. I have the Volvo mounts but need to allocate a day to replace them.

So Dcrasta, you've seen firsthand the improvement with elevating the engine. What is stopping you from doing the mounts and pan gasket? Allocation of time and space? When you do them, time spent cleaning before wrenching pays dividends. Messy damn job.

Ideally we'd somehow get yours and maleficios cars side by side and attack them both.
