motor mount identification (pics)

ok, so here they are, my unidentified motor mounts that seat the 250 so nicely in the engine bay of my 65 mustang.




(click for biggies, 56K beware)

Those thingies came with the engine, and since I don´t have any reference material, pictures or junkjards with Detroit Iron over here I don´t know where those motor mounts originally came from. The number on the driver side cast iron motor mounts reads C9ZA-6061-B and W1 above. Passenger side number is C9ZA-6037-B and W2.

The metal/ rubber insulator that sandwiches between the cast motor mounts and the (slightly bent) stamped steel motor mount brackets has some hardly visible numbers on the deteriorated rubber as well:

C9OA-6038-B and C9OZ-6038-B

Has anybody seen those mounts and/ or numbers before, and from what car did they come?

P.S.
As you can see in the first pic, thats the only reasonyble way to bolt the motor mounts on so the engine can sit properly between the shock towers. With a low porfile air cleaner, I didn´t encounter any hood clearence problems, and both the nine-bolt-topcover 3.03 and driveshaft matched up pretty well when I put everything together to see if and how well it will fit.

I may have to drill a new hole in the motor mount support for the third bolt however.
 
The part # C9Z is '69 Mustang, which would make sense since the 250 came out in '69.

C9O denotes '69 Fairlane/Torino, but sometimes the O in the third position is kinda generic to all mid-size cars.

I'll have to see what the mounts in my '69 Ranchero say, the frame mounts are different, they aren't like those cast iron ones, but I bet the rubber part is probably the same.

And the Z in the 4th position indicates it is a 'service part', a factory replacement part.
 
Treasure the rubber mounts while they are good. If you are ever at a parts store have them look up replacements, I have asked 3 different stores and they are unavailable...

My mom's boyfriend is getting ready to yank the 250 out of his '69 stang and I told mom I wanted dibs on the frame and motor mounts for my '67. Maybe I can get some measurements off them and get one of our creative members to make some aftermarket replacements..

Those rubber mounts look like the ones used from 1971 though 1988 or so, here. Plenty available new and used.

...Just found them for (each) AUD22,25

Simon, are you going to drill the 3rd hole? That's what I had to do with my Granada mounts - match 2 holes and drill the 3rd. I'm curious to see what radiator and hoses you go with. Good luck.
