Would anyone have a picture of the WCF engine mount as installed on a 4.9L Caddy powere plant? [This message has been edited by LongEZ RC (edited 12-15-2020).]

Can't see the WCF 4.9L front motor mount installed as the car needs to be on a lift to take a picture. Can't do pics today as we are expecting some significant snow. The WCF mount looks like this:
The problem is that the mount goes on a diagonal from the front of the 4.9L to the preexisting holes in the front cradle mount bracket. Easy to install but thats about it.
This diagonal mounting may be strong but it places almost right on the axle and interferes with it on the automatic swaps. Can't say what it would be like on the manual swap. We had to cut about 1/2 " off of it to gain clearance. I cannot recommend this mount as a plug and play solution. The design was not well thought out.[This message has been edited by Dennis LaGrua (edited 12-16-2020).]

The Fiero Addiction 88 bracket is essentially a flat bracket that bolts to the end of the "trunk side" of the block, and extends down to a right angled bracket which, in turn, bolts to the rubber mount that sits on the cradle shelf.
If you've ever seen the Fiero Factory 4.9 mount, it's very similar.
I broke my front side mount a while back, and while I was repairing that, I replaced the FF mount with the FA mount, because I had it, unused. But there is very little difference between the two, other than the FA mount being more nicely done.
Edit - I found an archive of Fiero Addiction's page. The FA bracket requires an Energy Suspension mount, as detailed at the link. Also contains pics of the bracket.
