So from what I’ve been told you can use ford motor mounts off a f150 for the z32's has anyone here used these?
if so what did you think? Did you notice any difference in how the motor sat? Also what year F150 and engine mounts do I use?

I use them currently and in the past. The only issue I have notice is the engine will sit higher and you have to drill out the holes at the mounting point on the subframe and Engine bracket. It will sit about 1/2" higher and may rub the hood if you don't have everything set correctly. Very cheap alternative compared to the OEM and aftermarket mounts, I believe they will last longer too because the engine they mount to is a 200 lb heavier. They are from an 89 f150 with the 6 cylinder, I believe 5.9 liter or 4.9. They have hydraulic ones and rubber, get the rubber or basic ones. Hydraulic ones tend to leak after a couple of years.
