I am using solid motor mounts. Looks like they raise the motor

The pan used to sit flush with the K-member and it sits about an inch and a half higher with solid mounts.

I had the same problem with the relocation bracket that I bought. I had to buy a cowl hood. Plenty of room now.

I have a spohn kmember and solid motor mounts. It raises the passenger side a few inches.

But I didnt have this issue as I am using the speed inc alternator bracket.

If I would have bought that kit, I would have spent 50 more bucks than I did with buying my hood and my bracket. Its a really nice piece though

I might be able to lower it a tad, but not sure unless i see some pictures.

Man thats a drag. Why would you want your motor to sit higher anyway? Looks like I will be making my own mounts

With my Spohn solid mounts and a PA K-member, my oil pan is flush with the bottom of the k-member.
