If the mounts have never been replaced and look squished, then yes - suspect the mounts have gone bad. May be good preventative maintenance to replace them. Availability I'm not sure about but some inquiries with T-bird vendors that cater to later 'Birds should turn up some, and I suspect they may cross with FE-family applications in full-size Fords/Mercurys and maybe Fairlane or big-block Mustang?
