The motor mounts are not working out as well as we would like. With the engine sitting level in both directions the output shaft on the transmission sits 3/4" too high. We re-worked the trans mount and bracket and it is sitting 1/4" too high with respect to ERA's 3.5" dimension to the top of the "X". We would go ahead and lower it to spec, but we checked the engine for level and we now have slope and lowering it anymore will just amplify the problem which is not the best for the Webers.

Also, the mount does not have full surface contact to the frame horn. We have decided to go to solid mounts.

Question 1 - How critical is the 3.5" tail shaft dimension?

Question 2 - Anyone ever play around with lowering the engine and trans?

We are considering going to electro fuel pump. I spent some time searching and it seems several have run 7lb pumps with no return?

Question 3 - Can you guy's shine some light on this?

Got my valve covers in from Nick - perfect.
