That mount seems to have symmetric geometry, which will give you fitment issues if you are planning to use them as a drop-in replacement for 4th-gen F-body mounts. The coupling bolt cylinder on the 4th-gen mounts is offset towards the bottom attachment holes and protrudes further out the right side of the cage than it does on the left side. If you attempt to use them with the Hooker engine mounting brackets, your efforts to do so will not be successful.

As always just trying to save a few bucks where I can . Stock motor mounts seem to be around $150 to $200 and then add Prothane inserts for another $60 and that gets pricey .
Those mounts where $70 shipped !

If you are planning on running poly inserts, just pick up a set of cheap aftermarket 4th-gen F-body mounts since you'll just need them for the clam shell halves. The Anchor 3064 mounts can be purchased from Rock Auto for 32 bucks each.

The components have been received from our supplier, but were delivered to the wrong facility (here in Bowing Green KY instead of our Mississippi facility). They are being shipped down there so they can be boxed and placed on the shelf.

Components need to be shipped to Mississippi? I was under the impression these were made in Mississippi. Just for the sake of clarity, are these totally made in the US from US parts or just assembled in the US from components sourced elsewhere?
Thanks

Yes, they are made in Jackson MS and were supposed to have been shipped to our facility in Aberdeen MS...they showed up here in Bowling Green, KY instead by a mistake on the suppliers part. They are fabricated from laser cut and formed steel plate, so they are domestically produced. I have no idea where the steel itself comes from, so if that is critical for you to know, there's no information I can give you to make you feel at ease.
