The Tiger uses the same motor mount (rubber part)as a 64.5 and early 65 Ford
Mustang. Part way thru Ford switched to the mount with the bolt parallel to
the long axis of the car. I would guess you could make your own mounting
bracket (piece between frame and rubber part) that uses the later design
motor mount. Just need some 1/4 inch plate, the blue wrench and some time.
