Motor Mounts and possible issues moving forward..

[HISSMAN]

I will be installing my Steeda adjustable motor mounts either tonight or tomorrow. I think I am going to do the full 3/4 inch drop that they can provide. Moving forward does anyone have any experience with these, and would this cause an issue with the installation of long tube headers? Also, and tips for doing the swap will be appreciated.

All cars are different.

There is a very good chance that dropping it 3/4" will cause clearance issues. So just make sure to check clearance all around the oil pan / rack....and the steering rack to header tubes.

Awesome! That is what I wanted to hear. I may just go 1/2 inch then. Thanks!

No problem. We have done a lot of testing with various engine heights and have found some cars will allow for more drop than others, etc.

Usually you are safe with .500"

No issues, with going 3/4 of a inch lower, with Kook's or Stainless Steel works headers.

Replace one mount at a time. Plus, make sure you have clearance on the steering shaft to EPAS

When done recheck to make sure you have clearance between engine component's and chassis.

Also, you can reach out to any of our five ASE certified and development Techs with further questions @954-960-0774

Thank you,

Wouldn't lowering the engine cause the driveshaft pinion angle to be off ?

What's Ford's rationale for placing the engine so high?

Ease of assembly with the chassis.
