Re: Motor mounts

Interested in this topic. I have the same motor mounts from Scotts. I had to modify them by cutting the tubes off the plate and repositioning them so I could get steering shaft and header clearance on driver side. I modified passenger side to match. I think moving the mount forward added stress since the engine is no longer balanced forward to back. Also had to weld a third time to get it right hopefully it's not brittle from repeated welding. Also had to notch one of the tabs for shaft clearance. But we all tend to overengineer because we want to be sure. I doubt Scott's would sell poorly designed mounts.
