87 cougar need help September 28, 2012, 11:16:08 AM I wanted to know if there was any way to get the motor to sit a tad higher to clear the tranny linkage, im in the process of installing 1-5/8 shorty headers. ive already ran into a bunch of problems with them that i have fixed! Driver side has been a challenge IMO!!! Wish i could kick the old tranny linkage for like a lokar setup...ThanksBrian Quote Selected

87 cougar need help Reply #3 – September 29, 2012, 09:35:11 AM New motor mounts yes, This car had over 12k put into it! New everything, I took the e7 heads off and put gt40's with shorty headers. I used four washers in between the block and the mounts. I also used some washers to adjust the linkage! its got a jasper 306 stock aod with 4r70w internals, 3500 stall, auburn unit and 373 gears.
