Ok we are going to modify Peabody and Sherman's way back machine so I can tell a story that delves into the future and past at the same time. I have an 86 ford ranger that originally came with a 2.3 four cylinder. I have swapped in a 351 windsor using stock 87 mustang motor mounts. Since I am somewhat of a grudge type drag racer. I would like to move the entire engine and transmission up 1 inch and back 1 inch. To assist in traction by moving weight back and up by moving the crank centerline back and up relative to the vehicle.
In this hypothetical situation, did you use Fox body motor mounts, stock V6 mounts and adapter plates, or something else?
For Fox mounts, back is easy. Drill the holes in the crossmember exactly 1” back from their current location. 1” up... make some spacers where they mount to the block.
For adapter plates, drill new holes in the plates exactly 1” forward of the current holes. (Trust me, moving the holes forward will move the engine back.) For 1” up... make some spacers (1” thick) and use longer bolts.
For something else... I’d have to see it before I could give you any options. (But it would probably involve a tape measure and the 1” mark.)
