Yeah, I found a post saying that, but I don't think that is absolutely correct. After a lot of digging, I found this in the 1973 factory Ford service manual and it shows the RH engine mount for a Torino or Montego having the same part number as both sides of the mustang. It also shows the frame brackets on the mustang being LH/RH and model specific, which you already knew. From the looks of the mount in the diagram, and picture below, they are correct. So, I ordered two RH mounts, pn 2371. I just wish I had the actual Ford parts manual from 1973 to confirm the numbers are the same. I also, looked up the mounts for 1973 cougars with 351C and they list the same RH mounts for the Torino/Montego fitting. I may have to go back and order the LH (2370) side to get it to fit. I figure ~$30 for mounts to test fit vs. trying to find and buy the frame bracket is easy enough. I may end up having to go the bracket route in the end. I will update with the results and post it to the other thread about the mount problem if the mounts work. Maybe I am going over old ground, but from a manufacturing standpoint it doesn't make sense to me to have single model line mount. Most parts like this fit several model lines. Most of the time it is the "visual appeal" stuff that is different.
