    I have all new mounts. Flipping the dog bones is not going to push my motor towards the firewall am I right? If that's the case I'll go do it now..

    The middle outlet off the front header is touching the passenger METAL Fan casing. Theres nothing to shave. The front header attaches to the motor. Nothing to move. My crossover doesn't leak so I'd have to assume I've got it in to my satisfaction. (that's what she said) Iol

    I'm guessing I got a bad batch of headers because I had to grind the front header for it to fit inside crossover.. Horrible flange job. I didn't even get clamps from them.

    Now I'm sure you solved your problem that way but mine was best solved with new fans.. besides that will give me plenty of room later depending on the route I go with the vehicle.

    I'll have before and after shots if anyone is interested in seeing them in a few days.

    flipping the dog bone mounts will hold the engine tight right where you looking at it sitting in park. if you look into the mount from the side, it tells the whole story.

    in park, im sure if you grab the sc snout, and push and pull the engine, it will move some. flip the mounts, and all that moment is now gone.
