Spohn Motor mounts
just bought solid spohn motors mounts they fit great but they raised the engine about 1.5 inch would it be possible to have 1.5 inch cut out and re welded or would this cause them not to line up

Why is it a problem? Most of that 1.5 inch come from the stock rubber isolators being destroyed allowing the engine to sag really badly. When I put mine on I got about the same raise in height, didn't have any problems though. It actually helped the headers get more clearance.
Cutting them probably won't work as far as I can tell, since they sit at an angle cutting out material will cause them to set against the block further up than they do normally and maybe the bolts will not line up.

I have there mounts and they fit perfect. I took the stock mount off the frame & block and bolted them together and they were the same height..I don't believe you can raise the engine 1.5" with out the intake hitting the cal and the exhaust mounting back up. Every thing with these car are pretty tight under the hood. But your mounts might be fab wrong
Make shore before you cut the mounts to check your clearance between the frame and oil pan , and stock F-body clearance is about 1/2", And you will haft to chance the angle or pitch of the mount

mounts
the problem i am having is since the engine is sitting higher than before the collector on the driver side is tight against floor pan and causes vibration. Iwill measure gap between kmember and oil pan but it looks more than .5 inch because after the install i said to a buddy that i could remove the oil pan with motor in now
