Motor mount help

[fstmatt]

I've searched the archives, but my question remains regarding motor mounts for my 55 F-engine. I've figured out that I should use the new square mounts in the front, but what about the rear mounts? Is my only option to use the original tall cylindrical mounts from $OR (for $85 a piece), or is their an aftermarket version? All I've seen from various parts stores are the shorter conical rear mounts for an FJ40. Any help is much appreciated.

you can use the square ones in the rear as well, just make sure to go to the hardware store and buy a spacer to make up the height, couple giant washers work perfect.

I would be concerned that washers would create a weak point, unless you had washers sized to matched the footprint of the square mount. Am I just being over cautious?

a little, the washers i am referring to are those big giant fender washers. you can also make a square spacer from a piece of flat stock. you can even go so far to cut off the frame brackets and make new ones a little higher.
