87 Cougar XR7 308 S/C 460 RWHP

I'm new to this website, but not new to owning a Cougar..... I've owned this baby since 1994 and built it up from the ground.....  Currently I'm making 460 RWHP and 420 ft. lbs of torque at the wheels in an auto.... I made 501, but my techs tuned it down not to blow up the trans..... A TKO 600 is going in during the winter....

Thanks

Welcome aboard, that thing is ultra nice. With that kind of RWHP I would have to guess that there's some aluminum heads and a cam lurking down there.

If the AC works I'm really gonna be jealous!

Yes they are the stock motor mounts, in the past year I only busted one.... I can't seem to find anyone that makes solid or poly mounts....The only thing that saves me is that they are safety mounts.... I always have a few sets on hand....LOL !!!
