Motor mount shims

[64SF]

I may need to raise the engine about 1/4 inch for header clearance. I read that Shumaker sells a shim-kit but website says they are out of stock. Anyplace else I can buy them? Thanks.

Just as easy to make them yourself and save a ton of money. Aluminum plate 1/8 inch thick does the trick. I say 1/8 because you can layer them for the right height. You may find 1/4 is not the desired thickness so you can stack them. I'd make 4 of them 1/8 and two 1/16 and that way you can level the engine as well as raise it. I use two under each mount on my engine.

Remember , as the mounts are at an angle, a 1/4 " shim will not raise the engine that much. And the studs on the mount may not be long enough to get the nuts back on.
