Should be no problem gettin it to clear the hoodline with spacers that big. On my 87 Turbo Coupe 460 I used a Ford Van C-6 transmission rubber mount to lower the rear of the trans to help with the crank angle when I lowered the engine. You can also order steering rack offset bushings to lower the steering rack a bit more. Of course custom engine mounts will get you a bit more as well. I had to use a solid Flaming River steering shaft to get more exhaust clearance because the engine sits lower. Hope this helps. Alan |
