Dave, I am curious why you didn’t go directly to one of the suppliers that Tom mentioned, rather than searching the web at random?

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.

The spring kits come with three springs, two long ones that go on either side at the top, and one short one that goes in the middle on the bottom. Might you have tried to use one of the upper springs on the lower part of the yoke?
