The Ford Barn

I have installed the motor in my restoration process. I have seen this problem addressed on here before but am unable to find the thread. When the old front motor mount was in there, the motor lined up fine. However, it was an after-market mount. I have the mount sold by Snyders. It is keeping the motor from dropping down to line up the crank nut with the crank hole bolted on the frame. The frame is straight, that is not an issue. It is as if the springs are too tall in this mount kit. Has anyone else had this same problem with this repop part? What did you do to correct the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sonny
