If it has to go up, how about spacers between the block and the mounts. Not ideal, but would get you going.

HAHAHAHA. Please tell this to my customers when I tell them it will take another 2 days before they can have their cars back. I don't think they really understand our frustration.

ok, frustration level has went from 6ish to about 19 on a scale of 10,...

so once again i set off to remove the motor mounts without removing the engine or anything,..wiggle out the mount, install about 9 washers and a longer bolt,..just to see if this would work, install and tighten everything, lower the motor, and WTF i have made it worse,..i guess by installing the washer it has lifter the front half of the motor up, pushing the back half down onto the center link...

this make me almost think its something with the trans mount,...i think i need the spacers inbetween the trans mount and trans body mount,..to push the rear half of the engine up,...

and i looked at the ron morris mounts, and NO WHERE does it say height adjustable,..it says front to back and side to side

Ron Morris has two style of mounts. One with stock height and one 1/2" lower. Both are adjustable forward and sideways. Just select which height you want on the order screen.
