I've got a 31 Victoria, put in a Mitchell this winter. Also replaced the front and rear motor mounts. The front is the one in the Les Andrews book where you drill 2 holes in the cross member. Put Float-a-motors in the back and added the little rubber block gadget over the U-joint that sits on the cross member.

Good news: vibration has dropped dramatically. Bad news: when I go over a serious bump, the Mitchell hits the floor pan. There is about 3/4" of clearance between the Mitchell and the floor.

Do I - Plan A: add some washers to the front mount to drop the U-joint area; Plan B: remove the rubber block & bracket by the U-joint; Plan C: ignore it; or what's your Plan D??? Thanks folks.
