SO I see different types of motor mount,
I have the smaller type with rubber garment under it and need to replace one because it's rusted out.
I came across some but there the fluid type I believe.
can these be use or is there a difference in hight, be caused I just fiberglassed in new mounts in boat and set them for small type (size)
I have a 1995 4.3 v6 motor set up.
Thanks

Ayuh,.... I believe the fluid mount was used for a short time on the non-balance-shaft 4.3ls, to dampen the vibes,....

Donno whether their profile is the same, or not,...

It's not. Just replaced a non-balance shaft engine with a new MPI (also V6) and the engine mounts are so different it was a pain to get them set up.

Yep that the ones num. 4 is what I have but need to change one.
And I do have a balance shaft.
the fluid fill ones would not work, correct?
