Description 

New design!
Allows installing a Coyote engine 3/4" forward for CMCV controller clearance.

Mustangs with big horsepower—and those with moderate horsepower that are raced—will exceed the performance capability of stock motor mounts and even urethane-bushed motor mounts. Whether you race or just deploy that monster engine on a few choice straightaways around town, MM's solid motor mounts will keep your engine locked down.

The Problem
While rubber and urethane motor mounts reduce the transmission of engine vibration and noise into your Mustang's cabin, the very way they do that means they deform and flex while reacting to engine torque.


That motor mount flex allows the engine and transmission to rock over, which slows your Mustang's reaction to throttle inputs. Basically, it's like you're losing torque when you want it most. Flexing also shortens soft mount longevity, leading to frequent replacement.

The Solution
MM's Engineering Team designed these solid motor mounts to keep your Mustang's engine securely in place. Here's why they're great:

  • New option! Allows maintaining the stock for/aft engine location or installing the engine 3/4" forward. This allows retaining the CMCV controller with a Coyote swap.
  • Eliminate the soft mounts' unwanted driveline torque reaction.
  • Handle high power levels with thick steel design.
  • Improve throttle response.
  • No need for added-on torque straps. 
  • Direct bolt-in, just like stock mounts.

Fits

  • 1996-2004 Mustang with 4.6L engine, 2V and 4V.
  • Coyote or 4.6L engine swapped into 1979-1995 Mustang with the MMKM-2.1 K-member. 
  • Coyote engine swapped into 1996-2004 Mustang.
Notes
  • Recommended for track use.
  • While some owners use these on street-driven Mustangs, you will experience increased NVH.

These motor mounts provide the option to relocate a Coyote engine forward ¾”. This provides clearance at the firewall to retain the CMCV vacuum motors that are standard on 2015+ Coyote engines.

Why do I need more clearance at the firewall?
The 2015+ Mustang Coyote engines have Charge Motion Control Valves (CMCV), commonly known as intake manifold runner controls. The manifold runners have air valves moved by vacuum motors located at the back of the intake manifold. The ECU controls the movement of the vacuum motors. The purpose is to provide better idle control and higher torque at low RPMs. The GT350 intake manifold also has CMCV and vacuum motors.

The Problem
The CMCV vacuum motors on a 2015+ Coyote engine interfere with the Fox firewall (and some SN95 Mustang firewalls) when the engine is mounted in the typical location, as dictated by standard 4.6L motor mounts.
Ford Performance no longer sells production 2011-2014 Coyote engines. The crate engine they now sell is the current model year (2015+).

The Solution
When you need a solid motor mount, the solution is these engine mounts, which have the option to relocate the engine ¾” forward from the standard location.

Need the forward offset, but not solid mounts?
Use MM’s Coyote-Swap-Firewall-Clearance-Motor-Mount-Adapters along with urethane motor mounts from Prothane. That will relocate the engine forward from the standard location without the increase in NVH caused by solid mounts.

  • Options allow maintaining the stock for/aft engine location or installing the engine ¾” forward to retain the CMCV controller with a Coyote swap.
  • Keeps the engine securely in place.
  • Eliminates the unwanted driveline torque reaction that soft mounts allow.
  • Designed for high power levels.
  • Improves throttle response.
  • Direct bolt-in, just like stock mounts.
  • Includes driver-side and passenger-side mounts.
  • Steel construction.
  • Durable zinc-plated finish.
  • Includes the proper nut to secure the mounting bolt to the K-member.

Fits

  • 1996-2004 Mustang with 4.6L engine, 2V and 4V
  • Coyote or 4.6L engine swapped into 1979-1995 Mustang with the MMKM-2.1 K-member
  • Coyote engine swapped into 1996-2004 Mustang
2015+ Coyote Note
These MM motor mounts allow shifting the engine forward to accommodate the CMCV controller. The CMCV controller on the intake manifold requires the engine to be moved forward when swapped into a Fox Mustang.
