Im seriously regretting these Spohn solid motor mounts, a huge PITA to put in even when you can literally get right next to em, the motor is a solid 1.25" higher (hits the alternator on the hood) and it appears that im not crazy and the PASSENGER side doesnt fit because the bolt holes dont line up. I also dont think my LGM STB will fit, it will hit the intake. Before I bought these I measured to see if I had an inch to give for em and I did, barely, but I had it.
Now I dont, so IF i can get the bolt holes to line up ill have to modify the alt bracket to drop is as much as possible, if the bolt holes dont line up ill use the spohns for parts and make new ones from scratch. I paid good money and had high expectation for those
fuel fitting for the pumps is at the machine shop getting liposuction, still trying to source the two brackets that bolt to the core support so i can start making the final draft of the upper support bracket, works picking up so the money should start running a little thicker thank god, it appears my BMR 4l80e trans crossmember might not fit right but im getting some pictures to them to try and figure it out. Today was a huge bummer all around.

i agree. i decided to build my own engine mounts and transmission trans x member in my car, it took me about 2 weeks of working 3-4 hours a day. granted, its a conversion and im ****, but **** what a pain in the ***.

The part I dont like about it is there isnt anything I can do right now, Im waiting on something in every direction.
I need to somehow roll my tranny over and measure the pan so i can make a cradle for it to sit safely on my floor jack. g2g thanks for the revelation fellas

he gave it to me i did mention I might order more though. currently it doesnt fit, with the barbs on there isnt enough room between the tops of the pumps and the bottom barbs. top is the same way so im making a few modifications to it to shorten it all up some, once its all done and it fits then ill see about having a few extras made and let yall know.

both, im having roughly 3/8" cut off the single out and having the threads tapped deeper into the block to allow all 3 fittings to screw in farther. Im trimming the end barb off each barb, and i took out the 3/8 to 1/4 bushing and 1/4 npt 5/16 barb ( the single out fittings) and ordered a 5/16 barb x 3/8 npt. the block is at the machine shop with all three fittings right now
