I do think the motor sits just a touch higher than it did with the stock ones, I remember there being a little more clearance than there is now. Its possible that the stock mounts were already starting to weaken, especially since they are liquid filled.

My prothane mounts sat about 1/4" higher than the stockers. When we installed the Saleen blower, I had to cut the mounts down so that the blower would clear the hood.

My engine also sits higher. Slightly rubs the shaker shroud on the passenger side. I was always going to lower them a tad but put a rubber baby buggie bumper on that side of the shroud and it acts as a cushion to stop the rubbing.

The squishy stock mounts absorb some horsepower that could be applied to the ground. I have read as much as 5 rwhp gain. Also when running longtube headers the clearance become so much tighter that you need to control engine movement.

+1


Plus we can't resist replacing steel and rubber with aluminum and urethane.

I did it because I got a good deal on them, might be doing headers sometime in the future too.
In a little bit I'm going to go wash the 'stang, it's a bit dusty even though it was covered.
