Engine Mount Dial-In
![]() Bought this kit a while back from www.performanceonline.com with everything included. Nice quality. Instruction sheet said 'there may be some drilling and welding required.' Not a big deal, but when I mocked everything up last Saturday I found the motor mount centerlines on the engine are at about 17" and the tower bushing centers are only 15-1/4" from each other. 1-3/4" off. ![]() Three Options: * Notch the frame rails 1" on each side - drill new mounting holes - and maintain engine height. * Piggy-back weld another set of bushings (that intersect into the motor mounts off the towers) on top of the originals - maintaining the original geometry. * Make two machined blocks that go over the original bushing length (and bolt thru them) with three different holes that allow all the adjustment I could ever use. Thoughts?
