Motor Mount Question Are there any particular kind of motor mounts that would lower the engine in its cradle about 1/2" - 3/4"? My problem is, we put some Pacesetters and an ORY on my buddies 93 Z. Where the little flat spot is on the Y pipe, it hits the body. It pretty much rests on it actually. I've tried adjusting every single piece of the exhaust and it still hits. We are about to try putting some sort of insulator between the body and the exhaust. I was even contemplating putting some sort of spacer in between the trans cross member bolts and the body. No more than 1/2" worth. Any input would be great thanks!
Had the same problem with my ORY, I just had the exhaust shop fix that for me.
Much easier than lowering the whole engine.
We shortened one arm of the Y, then welded in two little bends to keep it away from the
body and still go up and over the Spohn torque arm crossmember.
That basically kept the Y pipe arms the same total length, it just moved the elbow a little.
