Ok guys, I am having a hell of a time with my motor mount plates. I got a set of 1" set back plates from jeggs. But I have just about had it with these efing mounts and plates. I am already $75 deep into these mounts and I would like to get my motor in my car like asap. I am trying to upload some pics to show you what I am working with. I guess they are to big to upload.

I guess the question I need to be asking is, Are my clam shells supposed to be below the front 2 exhaust ports? Or do I have these mounting plates on wrong. I feel like a complete idiot asking this.

 

use photo bucket.

im not sure i understand the issue? the idea of the offset is to set the motor back towards the firewall

 

not really sure either, but the clamshells only have one place to go on the block. I used the Spohn swap mounts with the only issue being the second mount bolt being a PITA to line up (seems to be pretty common). I know many others have used 1" set backs with their swaps also. Search around the swap threads.

 

The problem I am having is the pass side clam shell hit the threaded boss on the block for the truck accessories.

 

I had the same problem and i just took a grinder and made a half circle notch to clear the bolt boss.

 

I already have the plasma cutter out for the morning. And that was the plan.

 

YEA!!! gotta love the plasma
