The car is a 65 Polara (C-Body), It has new motor mounts from Schumacher and a new transmission mount also. Can I just put a 5/16" shim between the motor mount bracket and the K-Member mount, then lower the engine, or is there a better way of doing it? Thanks.

It worked for me. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)
