Which K-member are you using? According to this chart, 84-95 Mustangs use the same motor mounts.

Here is the simple answer I cot to this question from someone whos been around...
go to the local carquest & get 5.0 convertible mounts, whatever year of the era- there all the same (I think I got 86 ones)  they are different left or right & will look different than the regular coupe/hatch ones-dont worry they'll install with little to no mods- mine needed an index pin hole slotted, which was 30 seconds w/ a die grinder.  these mounts are much stronger & will hold plenty of power for along time.  this design is what the energy mounts copy & these are about 50 / pr.

Sorry, but I don't know why you are having a problem with this. I just went to O'Reiley's auto parts and they had them in stock for both driver and passenger side, and for gt/lx and convertible. I think the convertible ones are stronger and will give you more clearance if you have headers to put on.
