quote Originally posted by mattman134: I highly recommend these mounts and brackets. Very high quality, and went in with little modification. On 84-87 cars you will need to trim 1 inch off of the lower engine mount so it will fit in the cradle mount plate. On the 88s, you will leave this piece on. Everything went together smoothly and is not going anywhere. Thanks X!
Thanks man!
Yeah I usually scribe a line at the 1" mark and write "88 only" on it.
Glad the process went well for you. Ive fought with my competitors mounts to get the bolt holes to line up, its way easier just to drill them yourself in the first place.

Yes I do actually. I sold just a 3800 engine bracket and mount and have 1 remainder set, of just transmission brackets and the mounts.

im swapping a 03 3800 L67 Series II into an 86 GT. I will be using the 5spd transmission from my 1988 forumula donar which i believe is the muncie getrag (correct me if i am wrong i just have not torn into it yet). i need to know what i would need from you to make this happen. I have the complete 88 donor so i have all of the mounts from taht car. My 86 is currently a auto but im swapping all of that from the 88 forumula. Would love a set of your mounts let me know thanks!

Is there a difference in the 88 cradle between the v6 and 4cyl engine? I have a 4cyl automatic 88 and I'm beginning to plan an 3800sc swap.

There is no difference in the cradle other than the 4 cylinder most likely doesnt have a sway bar in the rear. TTT^^^ Mounts are in stock and ready to ship! Let me know if you need anything.
