Hi all! I am finally getting some work done on my 1990 CR I. I have always thought there was something wrong with the motor mounts in that made the motor sit higher on the passenger's side then the driver's side. I took the upper EFI (have '90 Mustang 5.0 HO drivetrain) off and from the body down measured to the valve covers. There is only 3/8" difference in height! It turns out the upper EFI intake is designed with a tilt up for the throttle body.
I was replacing it anyway with a Kenne Bell Supercharger. It actually is a little lower at the TB. But the supercharger housing is larger on the drivers side. I can cut away some of the inner liner (there is 2 pieces to the hood- an inner and the outer skin. That will give me an additional 1/2" of clearance.

I looked at the motor mounts. I have the 85-94 Mustang motor mounts. But the rubber pads look really extra thick. I would say almost 2".
I understand the convertible mounts are 1/2" shorter. It would be close with the inner liner cut back and the convertible mounts. That would give me an additional 1" of clearance.
I have seen several threads in the past on the CR motor mounts. Has anyone see this specific use with the extra thick pads?
