• Engine mount kit for OE-style replacement on select Oldsmobile 98, Custom Cruiser, Delta 88, Cutlass Salon, and Cutlass Supreme applications, plus Pontiac Grand Prix
• Engine mounts are made in the USA
• Mounts are engineered to OEM standards using CAD/CAM-based design methods for consistent fit and quality
• Natural rubber and Styrene Butadiene rubber construction provides abrasion resistance and aging stability
• Chemlock bonding agent helps create a durable rubber-to-metal bond
• Rubber hardness is matched to vehicle application requirements
• Hydraulic mount design is used where OE application calls for added vibration and noise control

Detailed Description

Anchor 300565 is a direct-fit engine mount kit for 1977-1979 Oldsmobile 98, 1977-1979 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, 1977-1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88, 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon, 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix. The kit is engineered to hold the engine in position while helping isolate vibration from the chassis, which is important on older rear-wheel-drive vehicles where worn mounts can affect drivability and comfort. This part number, 300565, is built with rubber compounds selected for durability and application-specific hardness, and it uses hardened steel fasteners with heat-treated Grade 5 bolts where included by design.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excess engine vibration felt in the cabin
• Clunking or shifting caused by deteriorated mounts
• Engine movement under load or during acceleration
• Noise transfer from the drivetrain into the body
• Mount failure from age-related rubber breakdown

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine and transmission mount locations before installation, especially on 1977-1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 and other listed GM applications with automatic transmission notes. Inspect adjacent brackets, crossmembers, and mounting surfaces for wear or damage before replacing the mounts. Confirm the vehicle’s year, make, and model against the fitment list for Anchor 300565 before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Anchor manufactures these mounts to OEM standards using controlled CAD/CAM engineering, application-specific rubber hardness, and Chemlock bonding for consistent rubber-to-metal adhesion. The design focus is durability, vibration isolation, and fit consistency for classic Oldsmobile and Pontiac applications.
