    Default are all Holden 5lt V8 engine mounts the same?

    Just wondering if anyone knows if there is any difference between HQ-WB V8 engine mounts verses the VN-VS engine mounts?

    bout time for the VP injected 5lt to find its way into the HX's engine bay & I wanted to check if the VP mounts will bolt in there or if I need the earlier mounts?

    Cheers

    Different. You need the HQ-WB mounts (as said above the rubber mount is the same, but the metal plate that bolts to the motor is different). The sump also needs to be HQ-WB, just incase you didn't know.
