I am finally getting around to replacing the motor mounts on my 74 Euro Pantera.  This mount looks good compared to the ones from my GTS project car that I recently replaced.  Those were much more deformed.  I am hoping the new mounts reduce some engine vibration on this car.  The material on this mount is very hard.  I am replacing one side at a time.

I test drove the car today after completing the motor mount swap.  It was what I was hoping for.  The engine now feels like it is part of the car instead of something that is just nestled in there.

When I recently test drove my other Pantera for the very first time, it felt very solid.  It got new motor mounts during its assembly.  That inspired me to swap the mounts on this car.

Wilkinson swears by his current suspension bushings.  I have put them in four Panteras and really like them.  They are Teflon lined and completely pivot unlike factory bushings.

Here is the description:

These bushing are an improvement over stock/original style a-arm bushings that came with Panteras.  The inner metal sleeve is teflon coated on its outside diameter and allows the bushing to genuinely pivot a complete 360 degrees.  Think of it as being permanently greased.  The original style bushings only pivot as far as the bonded rubber can flex and tend to inhibit a-arm travel.
