    When I swaped ever thing over from my gt in to the notch i noticed the motor sat lower in the notch than it did in the gt.:shrug: Has anybody else noticed this before. I use the same new motor mounts from the gt and everthing. Everthing cleared find, but i noticed that i could put a stock hood on the notch and not have any probablem with it hiting(1inch spacer) there is no way i could have ran my stock hood on the gt.

    It shouldn't Nothing is different between the coupe or GT or a 4-banger for the matter. Same K-member, same inner fenders, same everything really.

    don't the convertible engine mounts sit the engine a little lower? :shrug: maybe it had some of those? ANyway there is NO difference in K-member between coupe and hatchback... The 'vert has some extra bracing though but it won't effect the engine position.
