    My motor is to high?

    I just installed all new stuff:

    PA Racing K-member
    Prothane motor-mounts
    A4 race block

    I installed the motor and Vortech blower that was on the old motor and it sits so high it hits the hood with the top of the blower.

    I know the motor and blower are not the issue so it has to be the poly prothane mounts or the K-member. Did anyone else use the prothane mounts and experience the same probelem? How about the Pa Racing k-member?

    Does anyome make "drop" mounts? I don't care if there poly or solid at this point. I know HPM made them but I think there out of business.

    Did you try to turn the volute on the blower? If you don't need a ton of clearance it should work...especially if it's a 302.

    I have a PA k-member and and didn't seem to change height in the swap.

    HPM if you can get them makes a 3/4" drop solid mount. Make sure all is well w/ your rack thouh.

    I changed out the motor mounts and got almost all the clearance I need except the oil feed line for the blower is still hitting the hood.

    No, the oil feed line on the Novi is on the top and after adding a Rt angle fitting to it it sits hight enough to hit the under hood brace.....yea.
