Trans mount

[greaslife]

This weekend I went all over hell and back trying too find the rite trans mount for the bronco. I have an 86 w/5.0 and aod trans.
All the mounts everyone caries are narrow by a half inch at the mounting holes too the trans. Here's a pick of what I got. Any and all help would be grate

Looks like this one by appearance

Whats the date of manufacture on your truck? Maybe its a early 86 and parts are actually from 85 or late 86 and parts are 87 ? Did you try going up or down a year and see what they pull? Try rockauto.com ? They have pictures and measurements of almost everything they sell.

Looks like the mount from an e4od but that cant be right.

According to rockauto the 1968-1986 Bronco (1977-1986 F150 too) has same mount (or that part number fits them anyway). Maybe go up a year to 87 after that cutoff?

I did all that a napa warehouse. We pulled every mount they showed for all year broncos and f150-350 trucks. The only mount they didn't have in stock was for e series.
This is what I get for buying from a tweaker I guess.

Did the trans x-member look messed with/modified or "not stock" at all?

You SURE it's an AOD, or is that what the tweaker said was in there?

Is it the trans that supposedly came in the thing or was it swapped out previously?

[greaslife]

X member looks stock. As far as aod I'm going off the nipple in the pan. The t case looks like some one has been in it along with the trans. So I don't know.

At least yours looks like a trans mount. Mine is a flat plate on yhe trans with two seperate bodymount type bushings.

Greaslife that's the same looking mount as my 84 with a C6 fyi.

I know cause I broke the stud off that comes though the cross member. Drilled out out tapped it for a course thread 7/16 bolt. Threaded the bolt in the mount till three threads of bolt stuck out inside the rubber mount part. I then mig welded it on the top the best I could (What a smokey mess welding next to rubber does), then I welded it on the bottom where it sits on the cross member. Grinded down that last weld so it sits flush on cross member, bolted it back on.

Went to the junk yard this weekend and pulled a new one off a bricknose F150 assuming it was going to be the same, it did not bolt up, stud spacing was off .

Guess I am stuck with the hack tranny mount for a bit.

Ford used two different styles. A car and a truck mount. If the truck stuff doesn't work order a mount for an 80s mustang. I have both at the shop if you need measurements.

[greaslife]

Thanks philo that would be grate if you could get me some numbers. I thought of going that rout but didn't think ford would put a car part on a truck.

What is the width on the crossmember side? I have two that are wider than this one.
