Default "Drop" motor mounts for BB?

Any aftermarket motor mounts out there that drop the motor ~1/2" or so?

Thanks!

I'm using Energy Suspension's poly mounts, IMO it located the motor in stock height.

The urethane mounts will lower your engine a little, but be careful about pan to steering ram clearance. Probably not a problem with stock pan.

also watch pulley clearances up front. I don't know if BB have the PS pump low like on my SB, but there is already too little clearance there IMO.

Out of curiosity I checked the height of my new small block, and it is about .5" lower than the old one. I am using stock mounts. In my research for motor mounts, I only come across two types for Chevy's: 'tall and narrow' and 'short and wide'. None are specific to a car or engine size.

Good luck and let us know if you find them.
