Motor Mount Spacers?

Hey guys I recently installed a set of poly motor mounts, and it dropped the engine about .50" down into the k member. But now my header is rubbing on the steering shaft. Does anyone know who sells motor mount spacers, or should I just make my own? Thanks!

From what i've read, poly mounts always raise the motor up a bit and give you the clearance you need for LTs

Go to a bolt supply house and get some thick 1/8" torque washers for your size bolts and put them between the block and the mount. Use two each if necessary and make sure the bolt is long enough.

Re: Motor Mount Spacers?

I put in a prothane mount on the pass side to help my hooker header to clear the kmember and it worked perfectly.. raised the motor a good 1/2 inch. Odd how yours actually lowered since the mounts are thicker than stock.
