1967 Mustangs apparently got unique FE frame mounts.

By Dave Shoe - 09/06/2001 9:24:14 AM; IP 216.243.158.75

Interestingly, I believe that 1967 Mustangs used the same frame mounts for FE and small-blocks. In 1968, Ford repositioned one bolt hole in the frame mounts so the frame mounts would tilt about 15 degrees from the small block position. I've never studied why they would do this, but perhaps it lowered the engine in the bay or something. I suspect the 1968-70 FE Mustangs got revised engine plates to go along with this change - with the angle built-into them.

Unless you purchase 1968-70 FE frame mounts, you'll have to relocate one bolt hole in each frame mount (one bolt hole if an AT car, and also a smaller clutch spring hole if a stick car) so that it swivels about 15 degrees for proper fit of the 1968-70 motor plates.

I'll try to dig up specifics for modifying your current set of frame mounts.

Actually, I'm not certain, either. -- Dave Shoe, 09/10/2001
