RE; I have purchased front engine mount springs from Snyders, Brattons and Sacramento Vintage Ford. All three suppliers sold springs that would not compress beyond 1" which makes the engine sit to high not allowing the crank to line up correctly with the crank nut.

What difference will it make if he orders different springs. Sounds like he is trying to crush the longer outer springs below the normal range.

Maybe posting of a photo of the springs installed might help point to something and also photo of the springs being using. There have been a number of suggestions and questions and none seem to be addressed.

If you have the brass bushing installed do you now have it on the top or underneath where it should be?
