need future help on my mav

i am probally getting a 88 mustang with a 5.0 were gonna put in my mav, where do you get engine mounts for a mav, but will fit that motor? also what else will fit from that car onto mine.

 

You can get "mounts", you can get those at most parts houses. Frame stands, well, those are maverick/comet specific and you will need to hunt those babies down . Good luck

 

also i dont like the big bumpers i have seen people take them off and leave them off. if i took my front bumper off would that expose my radiator to rocks flying into it. and/or is it gonna be stupid looking?

 

i got my motor mounts at napa. they were about $14 each. you can do a swap to the smaller bumpers. do a search in the archives for info on that.

 

I wouldnt take the front bumper off and leave it off, if you dont like the way the big bumper looks then do a small bumper conversion on it. Plenty of info about that here. And what wrong with big bumpers?

I like...big bumpers, and I can not lie :evilsmile

 

thanks when i get the car ill go to napa. i dont have the money for small bumpers but wanna take the big bumpers off for now. also will a 75grabber rear bumper fit the same bolt pattern as a 74?

 

Frame stands you are going to have to buy used from someone or out of a junkyard. I got mine for $8 with a double hump cross member because I'm a lucky bastard, but they usually run around $100. You can get the engine mounts from any auto parts store. Just tell them you need motor mounts for a 74 Maverick with a 302.

Leave your bumpers alone until you have all the stuff to do a small bumper swap. Your car will look really crappy if you just take the bumper off and drive around.

 

Are you working under that car like that?

 

Wow, That looks dangerous.

 

jack stands are like 20 bux a pair new, please invest in some

 

Uhm... Don't quit your day job Hammertime, lol.

 

ok what are frame stands? i told my step dad were gonna need to get some and he dident know what they were either. both his mavericks had 302's already in them. and i guess all the v'8s he put in he dident need them. can some 1 send me a pic of them?

 

The motor mounts bolt to the motor, available at any parts store, Frame mounts bolt to the chassis to accept the motor mounts. They are only available from another V8 Maverick or Comet. So you will have to find a used set. Start looking through the junkyards or ebay. You can also post a parts wanted on this message board.
