Here's something you might want to watch out for if
you get these mounts.

On my car, a '79, they don't exactly fit. Each convertible
mount has a stud which goes through the mounting point
on the K-member and a tab which goes into a hole. The
left and right mounts have the tabs in very different locations
I presume so you can't install them backwards.

The '79 k-member has symmetric mounting points, and
neither the left or right convertible mount will go
in because the tabs and holes miss each other by
an inch or two. (Yes, I'm sure I don't just
have them backwards

Strangely, the '79 mounts don't have any tabs at
all, so I presume cutting the tabs off the new mounts
won't be a problem. It's either that or start
drilling holes in the K-member.

This isn't a big deal, but it would be a bummer if you
didn't notice until you were trying to figure out why
your engine wouldn't go in.
