the 67-71 mounts are more prone to breaking, and they mount the engine up higher in the frame. The 72 mounts are completely encased. If the rubber mount gives out, the engine is still held down by the metal. They are known as "clamshell". Really a better design. Plus the rubber mounts are way cheaper than the 67-71 type. I am selling a set now on the board. I have seen them go for as much as $120 on ebay, but I have also seen them go for $30, so it's a gamble. Have to have them there at the right time. Looks like yours are doing good.
