I have a 69 Mustang with 351 Cleveland. I have installed aset of FPA headers on the left side I have a clearence issue with the steering box on the left side. Just barely touching. I am considering installing adjustable mounts and shifting the engine a bit to obtain propper clearence. Has anyone used adjustable mounts, and how hard are the to install after the engine is in and secured. any other thought s would be appreciated.

i have a set on my 69. they're easy to install. obviously you'll need something to support or hold your engine while making the change.

I have the TCP

not hard to install. these allow for adjustment front to rear. The Ron Morris mounts allow for adjustment left and right as well as front to rear. Something to consider.

+1... I have them on my car... awsome mount. You can also get mounts that lower the engine 1/2" or so as well. Just food for thougt.
