Re: Random question about motor mounts
I can agree with what Lockdoc said but may be as simple as two different brands of mounts installed at different times.
I'm not sure of exactly when GM changed the Chevy mounts so they had the fingers that would keep the left side of the engine from lifting under torque if the mount broke. Anyone who has been though that with a solid rod throttle linkage rather than cable will tell you that the throttle sticking wide open wasn't fun and that was usually what happened when the engine lifted up.
