The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Engine sits too high for hand crank engagement

Thanks for all of the replies! The car does have the original style front engine mount. I measured the installed spring height of my truck and his roadster and they are very close. < 1/16"difference. This leads me to believe the back of the engine is sitting too low. Is there supposed to be a rubber pad between the top of the frame mount and the rear engine mount or is it only on the side where the bolts go through? It appears the rear engine mount tab that overhangs the frame mount is sitting right on the frame mount. My truck isn't close by (in storage) so I can't check it to see.
