I just installed a Vortech t trim on my 93 lx with 408W. I been using convertible motor mounts because the oil pan just clears the k member and the 2 1/2" cowl hood just clears the t trim and upper intake.

Will the OEM style motor mounts hold up? If not, what heavy duty motor mount would be equal hieght to the convertible mounts?

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

They will, for how long is the question though. MM makes some mounts that drops the motor to lower the center of gravity.

I got solid mounts for the engine & trans from JEGS. I dont know if they make them for a vert. I didnt know there was a difference.

I checked the motor mounts today and the passenger side is already blown. I'm going to buy some solid mounts and alter them if I need to get the engine lower.

Most aftermarket mounts are the vert design
