'00R engine mounts

[tug speedman]

Hey guys, im in the process of acquiring parts for a 5.4 4v swap and came across the issue of valve cover clearance. I plan on running a tubular k member along with drop spacers and from what I've been reading the '00 R has shorter engine mounts. My local Ford dealer and Ford racing couldn't get me price, part number or aviablity on these. Has anyone changed there mounts before and if so can shed some light on this subject?

The 00R uses 8mm drop motor mounts and 1/4 inch spacers in between the k member and the frame. I don't think these unique 00R mounts are available any more. The rubber became soft in my original 00R mounts, so I replaced them with modular engine prothane mounts. It did raise the engine some, but I didn't have any clearance issues.

There are other ways around that.
