    Yeah motor mount seems shot. You shouldn't need spacers unless your lowered or intercooled.

    I know autozone does but you have to ask specifically about it.

    Mount spacers for lowering and cradle spacers for hood clearance are very different things.

    Solid mounts from rockauto. Cradle spacers from Vinnie...easier to do when you change the mounts.

    cradle spacers do not come from vinnie and they move the cradle DOWN to LOWER the motor/trans.

    engine/trans mount spacers move the engine UP.

    I figured. Just don't want to have people confused and start saying the wrong things.

    You can make your own pretty easy. I used some 1/4" scrap steel from work, cut it out into 1" squares, and drilled something like a 1/2" hole in each of them, and I had my spacers.

    Or even easier you can buy thick square washers, they may be a little big

    you could always just use washers, too.

    you wouldn't be the first person to stack washers to make a spacer. and you wouldn't be the last, either.

    Depends on how big the washers are. Otherwise you are just going to make the mount go out even faster.
