Default Sub-frame spacers

Has anyone had or used spacers to drop their front sub-frame for engine mods. I'm looking to drop 3/4" to 1" because I have injector plates put in. TIA

How does that work w/ the torque tube and transaxle mounts. Do they just pivot?

ligenfelter kit is 1/4" drop. dropping more than that could have driveline alignment issues. port plates should clear with 1/4" drop

I have a Magnuson 2650 with DSX port injection plates. I have 2 sets of subframe spacers (driveline is fine) and the corner of the lid still hits my hood even with the hood insulation removed. I would be interested in learning a fix for this as well.
