PA Engine mount question?

Do they offer engine mounts that will position the motor a little lower than stock?Can this be done without getting any type of weird vibration or drivetrain issues?I will like 2 lower my engine 1/4 inch more so i dont have 2 mod my hood cause of my FD motor,Cosmo swap intake and 2 gain some more clearance between the tranny tunnel and trans!I have a scatershield and things are really tight in there and if i need 2 replace my slave cilinder is gonna be a PITA 2 do!
I have the black solid mounts in there now...................

I would seriously just raise the hood with some spacers for clearance. BUT!!! You can make some of your own motor mounts at the thickness you want them. https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...mounts-866516/ ..... As for your other questions I don't have answers to.

We can do a custom size for you. No extra charge, but it will take 2-3 days to ship out. While we were at it, a shorter set of transmission mounts would be a good idea. I'd go with half of the amount removed out of the motor mounts if it were for my car. This also has the added benefit of reducing the angle of the driveshaft.

My REW engine was mounted lower than the stock 13BT, its so low that the oil pan section under the front cover is barely touching the steering rack hard lines.

I still had to raise the hood a little bit, because of the jay tec intake

Well i was under the impression that the hood was gonna hit the upper intake and throttle body but it does clear.........i have a turbo 2 hood so the manifold and throttle body are sitting right in the opening!Now my concern is the cosmo elbow............i dont know for sure yet cause i have not get it back from the power coat dude but it looks like is gonna hit right at the left corner close 2 the battery box.If that is the case i am gonna hae 2 do something.Level zero can you pm me a price on a set of engine and tranny mounts?
