Yes,you can use tthe Stang stuff.Your motor mounts are the same as the Stang's.The '87/'88's are different.

No, you can't use the Stang stuff. '86 has the same style mounts as the 87-88, which are different than Mustangs.

So much for it being a simple question :hick:

As for poly mounts, ChuckW makes and sells some very nice 86-88 poly mounts. See his listing in the "Vendor's section"

My mistake.I thought that the earlier motor mounts were identical to the stangs.I feel like a bad person.I'll go ahead and punish myself for the bad info.I feel so dirty.

The earlier (83-85) are the same as the Mustangs, the later (86-88) are not. ;)
