Theo,

You have Mexican motor mounts. {9->

The original mounts are indeed "handed".

Haven't found the "second" box yet, but one is marked "C3-AA-6B032-H-LH", with a
"AU 12" above that.
In addition, the steel next to the bolt is stamped "L".  I presume this is the 
Left
one.

As you probably know, the fore-aft bolt location, between the two motor bolt 
hole
locations, is 3" from one hole and 4" from the other (approx.).  In addition, 
the
bolt is I inch from one lateral side, vs about 1 1/2 inches from the other.

Bottom line.  The are different. They are NOT Mustang!! (BTDT [8-<).  It is
important.

Good luck, I am sure you can find the correct replacements,  Mine are from 
"Trust"
and is part 2220.  If I ever find the other box, I can give you the rest of the
part numbers.

Steve
