Default Motor mount advice.

As the 'stang closes on a quarter of a million miles it starting to act as
if it might be time to replace the motor mounts. Being a convertible, I'm
unsure as to the appropriateness of using aftermarket mounts. I know the
factory used special mounts for vert's but I'm unsure of the differences and
weather or not the aftermarket's will work.

On the older 'verts they used a drop to lower the center of gravity. I have
'83 vert mounts in mine and it does sit noticeably lower. I'm not sure if
they did this for a all years or just the early foxes.

In this month's Mustang 5.0 there's an article on replacing motor mounts.
