Re: Stupid Question about placing engine mounts

I read somewhere in this forum where someone suggested using a 2x4 laying flat to space your motor off the crossmember. mounting engine too low and you will have lots of issues with your front drive accessories hitting fender wells. Take your time even if this means pulling engine in and out a few times. I am about 1" away from the stock firewall with my LS3 and it fits good; however, I cant run the normal width spal electic fan due to water pump clearance issues- I will have to go with a n extra slim fan
