Default Looking for part numbers for motor mounts and starter.

I'm trying to get a few more parts together, and I need the part numbers for the motor mounts Ill need, as well as the starter. I want to get the starter with no solenoid to save some space. What should I look for?

mount is an anchor 2235 which I believe is from a 60's dodge with the 318. On my build I used a stock sn95 starter without issue

Although the 94-95 Mustang starter has the solenoid on it, it is actually more compact than the one used on the Fox-bodied cars. https://www.dbelectrical.com/starter...ang/5-0-liter/

Thanks. I wasnt aware of the SN95 ones being smaller. That'll save me a few bucks.

Quick question about the mounts. They have a little metal wing on them, and I can put it on with it facing in or out. Does it matter which way they go? Most of the pics Ive seen dont have that metal part.

You can see the wing I’m talking about on the mount on the left.

I thought about that, but was worried about getting the rubber too hot and melting it

From what I could tell its a steel block with rubber coating, I cut it with angle grinder and didn't have any problems.

I'm pretty sure the wing is there as some type of fail safe so that should the mount begin to fail, the motor doesn't shift out of place. That said. it got in my way and I shaved a portion of it off on the passenger side to tuck my header in closer.
