have you looked into an aftermarket k-member. that would go a long way in many ways but cost more.

I just had to buy new mounts for my 94. I checked autozone, napa, drivers seat, and a local store, they all told me that they use the same mounts for verts and coupes in the 94-95 years. I made them look up part #'s for both models and they were the same. The fox body uses diff mounts between models.

I have a convertible with a 351 and a coupe with a 302, the mounts are identical. The conv mounts dont drop or add any strength. I would definately measure how much room you have between your pan and rack. I had to raise the 351 5/8" to keep it from hitting the rack.

could a 1" motor drop cause a pinion angle problem where the d/s meets the rear? if the car is otherwise dropped, the fact that the motor would drop and the trans mount would stay at the same position so it would torque on the d/s, right? i dont know if its enough to throw things off, just a consideration

Not to hijack the thread...I am wanting to do this swap and I have the Cobra R SVO hood. Its raised a bit. Would this clear efi 351?

Saleen used modified 83 vert mounts to lower the engine. I called Saleen and they no longer carry these mounts. Unfortunately

I have the TF R-series intake and I have the cobra R with SVO scoop and it clears the intake by 3/4 in.
