Is trying to swap 1rst gen 4.0 into 2nd gen body chassis. motor mounts are not working out. Does anyone know of motor mounts that will work with this combo?

Maybe a different thread title would get more views?

No, I don't have the answer but it is here somewhere.
 






Yeah, he needs 95-up ohv motor mounts. The plates which bolt to the engine are different on a 1st gen engine.

Hey!!!--I think I have a pair of those:D--let me check right quick. we stuck a 96 engine onto a 92 and had to swap the mounts over. I think I saved the '96 motor mount plates.
 






By golly I did!

I might be wrong, but something tells me the oil filter adapter might also be different from 94 to 95 (1st gen to 2nd gen) to clear the slightly different frame.

You might check on this also. In the meantime, here is what 95-up 4.0 ohv motor mount plates look like. Note the 95 stamped into the larger plate

Thread title edited for effect.

Moved to stock 2nd gen sub forum for more views.
