Coondog Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi every one..I'm new to the mustang world per-say..Any info on this subject would be greatly appreciated..I own a 2007 Shelby GT..Looking to add Hp and looks under the hood and keeping naturally aspirated for now..I'm looking to install the Ford Racing Intake, But what I read is the Ford Racing cross brace wont fit over the Intake..Are there any motor mount's out there that would lower the motor low enough so I could use the cross brace..Or is there another brace I could use in place of the Ford Racing brace?..Thanks for your time on this..Coondog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARALD KELLEY Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) I think this has been discussed in the Shelby SGT, GT-H Modification Tech section. May want to do a search or ask there. There are motor mounts that lower the engine by 1/2" or so . Some have used them so they could keep the strut tower brace with the whipple SC.

Larry T Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I have heard that it can be installed without any issues http://1.cdn.customerpics.americanmuscle.com/img/47311_800px.jpg?wid=810&hei=608 http://s1108.photobucket.com/user/steveespo/media/0ec3137ed9b85563a7154bc7157d5228_zpsbdb06635.jpg.html http://3.cdn.customerpics.americanmuscle.com/img/33275_800px.jpg?wid=810&hei=608 Link for motor mounts ... if you go this route http://www.lethalperformance.com/lethal-performance-s197-mustang-adjustable-motor-mounts-0-3-4-drop.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still available from FRPP (without the Bullitt ID plate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKurgan Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I have 1/2" lowering motor mounts and my FRPP brace would still not fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Kurgan - are you referring to the SGT brace? The Bullitt brace angles back and is higher than the SGT brace but still clears the stock hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcmotorworks Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Darn ! I thought it was Ford Racing Intake on "clearance". I was going to buy one just to put on the shelf ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKurgan Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Kurgan - are you referring to the SGT brace? The Bullitt brace angles back and is higher than the SGT brace but still clears the stock hood. Yeah the SGT brace. I actually sold it a while back. I'm not really too worried about having a brace. Functionally, I'm just not convinced it's doing all that much good. The FRPP intake is a different story. It does provide some nice gains, but it causes fitment issues of it's own with regards to superchargers, fuel rails, and throttle bodies.
