Got a question for anyone out there who has used M.O.R.E.'s bombproof mounts to put a 360 in their CJ. I'm using them and it doen't look like the clutch linkage is goint to line up. The motor needs to go forward an inch or two, but the axle snubber thingy is in the way. Just checking to see if this was a common problem or if I just don't know what I'm doing!
Thanks

Haven't delt with the M-O-R-E-S but shoot if you know how to weld and you have a drill and cutting wheel? if you do have those you can slide the motor forward and cut the axle snubber off or use the frame mounts in the same location and weld up new block mounts that allow the motor mounts to bolt on further back. Either way if you move the motor your going to have so playing to do with the clutch linkage. For simplicity sake you might look to changing over to the 81 and later hydraulic clutch assembly

I put a set in my CJ7 with a 304. While the motor was out I cut the pinon snubber off of the frame though. No problems at all with the clutch.

I have 5 freinds that run them in their CJ7's, 3 with 401's, 1 with a 360, and one with a 304. everything has lined up fine. Some of the MORE mounts need a little extra weld on the side of the motor plate, the ears can break where they are bent. They are a nice mount and worth the money.
And they took care of these mounts in the pic quickly, their cust service is very good IMHO.

Rockhugger...Are you guys going to weld up the sides like I did?

It sounds to me that you have the frame mounts reversed. Swap them side for side and try again. The motor should end up offset towards the driver's side about an inch. You should not have to remove the pinion snubber.
