Lowering engine mouinting point
I am fabbing something for my TII, and in order for it to fit perfect, I would need to lower the engine a .250". Will this have any bad effects?
I will lower the engine by making a set of solid motor mounts that are .250" less in height. The only thing I could think of that it would effect is the angle of the driveshaft. But i am unsure if .250" is enough to cause any problems. It dosnt seem like much at all, but you never know. I'm sure the old stock rubber mounts have sagged a good bit in the last 20 years, maybe even further than .250"?
I could always put a few washers to make up for that .250" to lower the tranny also. But that dosnt change where the diff mounts. And I dont really want to shim all the diff/subframe mounts.
