    I may be wrong,but I think only 65 hipo's and Shelby's had the special hipo motor mounts.All 66's had the regular 289 mounts so your car would have the correct mounts.:thumbsup:

    Earlier 66's had the 65 style HiPo specific motor mounts. I don't recall where the cutoff was but believe it was after the carry-over cars. 6S1902 would definitely have 66 standard mounts as OE.

    The change from HiPo engine mounts to regular ones was
    in November of 1965.
