I was wondering if solid motor mounts would drop my motor down? I'm looking to lower the motor at least 1/2 inch but a 1" would be great. I don't really care if the car shakes a little more, It only gets driven on the weekends and at the track.

Thanks

There are different versions of solid motor mounts, I had the moroso ones and seemed to raise the motor, I remember someone made drop down motor mounts for 351s that might work

yea i have solid motor mounts its different for me tho only becuase i have a 347 with a solid roller cam so the idle is huge and chunky the mounts dont absorb it basically thats the point of the no rubber so i feel the vibrations alot more girls love it too

I would but I have brand new oem mounts and it torques to the pass side pretty hard. I would'nt be surprised if I broke the drivers side mount already. I only have about 600 miles on them.
