All pms responded to.

There really are no tricks, read the post in the street section about when we installed these.
It's not any more of a pita then repalcing the stock mounts.

I would NOT recommend doing one side at a time.

Lift the motor and do both, drop the engine so it goes in level.

I'm not as mechanically experienced as most of you on here but this thread is really interesting to me. I like the idea of making the exhaust manifolds easier to install but other than that, what are motor mount spacers for? I've never heard of them before. Are they for installing an engine that doesn't fit in the stock location?

From what I understand. When using the PY replacement motor mounts, the engine sits a bit lower than when from the factory. This causes issues with the fan-to-shroud centering and center link / oil pan clearance (see this thread, specifically this post)

These risers give the needed clearance for both that clearance issue as well as the header clearance issue.
The only question I have is about the Stock mount bolts, do we need to use longer bolts when using these riser mounts?

Edit* Nevermind, found this in the original thread
Quote:
I wouldn't use anything less than 1-1/4" bolts. The original bolts are about 3/4" long.

Thats why I havnt sent money yet. I dont want to send it and wait and not get answer. Not doubting the guys at all but if available or not I would like to know so I can get them ordered or make my own which is not really what I want to do.

Yes, there are still some left .

No, we have not moved to Mexico! LOL

Mike is working on a problem with the Paypal account.

To anyone that has sent or is going to, besides going threw the Paypal process send me your email address so I can confirm your order.

Thanks

'From what I understand. When using the PY replacement motor mounts, the engine sits a bit lower than when from the factory.'

More often the not, it's the frame , not mounts.
Over time the area where the mounts mount on the cradle starts to bend/go concave. Also the cradle spreads causing the engine to sit lower.

Oh ok, thanks! Did I read correct that your spacers will only work with the PY mounts?
