1970 Mustang Coupe 302. When checking the oil I noticed that my harmonic balancer was in the process of slicing the bottom radiator hose? The entire engine had dropped about 4 inches! Apparently both front motor mounts had busted at approx. the same time. The Engine and attached Auto Trans seem to have shifted approx 1-2 inches toward the radiator and dropped approx. 4 inches in height. How can the engine/Auto Trans be shifted back?
We can not get the new motor mounts to line up by that 1-2 inches. We got bogus motor mounts from AutoZone(Anchor #2577 ) they were too short/small. We need to raise the engine back to the correct height. What are the correct replacement motor mounts for orig. Ford # D0OA-6038F? Would appreciate any info.

Thanks!
