You will find they are more than adequate, not unusual to find 60 year old trucks running on their original mounts. The front mount is the hard one to find parts for the only piece in reproduction is the rubber. The early trucks had horsepower ranges form 90-135 by the time you get to 261's and torque in the 180-200 ranges so they do the job.

And the top cover via Jim Carter.. The bottom metal mount is the hard one to find,I think.

GMC used the same system. The 2 on the flywheel housing keep the the engine from torquing and the front kept the engine down in front. They were never a problem. The second series in 55 used a strap for a motor mount in front and they broke. I am building a 302 GMC with a 3-2 setup and dual point distributor for a 50 GMC and I will use the stock mount.

all that is really required is 3 point mounting. 1 at the frt and 1 on each side of the bellhousing. later years it was 1 on each side of the eng and 1 under the rear of the trans
