Taller Engine mounts - 440 ?

Trans/engine still one limp so theory says ok. We’ll see !

When I bought my car it had unbranded 1 3/4" headers with 3" collectors on and there was 2 or 3 good dents in the pipes for clearance. A few years ago I fitted Doug's 2" headers with 3 1/2" collectors and they fitted perfectly with plenty of clearance. I use standard rubber engine mounts with a torque strap. I don't remember setting the engine position perfectly, I just dropped it down on the mounts ant bolted them up. Maybe you're headers are the problem and you are just trying to fudge it so they clear.

Well; I am thinking that sounds likely.
Spent ALL DAY wresting - engine box now in and mated; got one side on but the other was a mile out. There isnt enough wiggle room for the 10mm shims - although it looks like clearance would have been great. So I revert to stock and see where everything is.
These TTis have not been right since day1. Maybe the car IS ok and the headers are not

I've used TTI's before and thought they were very average and didn't fit without some adjustments. Even then they were extremely close, I wouldn't use them again...
