re
They do list a similar looking mount for the same price but specified for a
Syncro. Does anyone know if there any differences between these mounts?

the engine in a syncro  sits almost two inches lower than the engine in a
2WD vanagon ..
hence their rear engine mounting systems are different  to accommodate 2WD
or Syncro.
