I was reading Department of Boost's page about motor mounts and why we should use them... The BMR MM007 looked interesting to me, but when I went to check my engine bay for clearance issues, I noticed my stock manifolds are about 3/4" from the steering shaft. Has anyone else run into any clearance issues with their stock logs and dropping the engine about 1/2"?
I'm also wondering what this does to the driveline angle, exhaust angle/hangers/connections. Wouldn't dropping the engine stress the other parts out just a tad?
My intent with dropping the engine 1/2" is to increase clearance for a supercharger and the Boss 302 strut tower brace. The Procharger inlet looks like it will not fit under the STB, while the other blowers might be a tight fit. The urethane mounts also help reduce engine movement so the shifts would be better (even though my MGW fixed a lot of the problems).
